Spring is here - get out and about
Breakfast with Gary: Rep. Keith Ellison
On March 30, join Council Member Gary Schiff for "Breakfast with Gary" with 5th District Congressman Keith Ellison. Before being elected to Congress in 2006, Ellison represented House District 58B in the Minnesota State Legislature. Keith has a long history of community service and has been active on issues such as privacy, welfare reform, indigent defense, environmental justice and others. This is a good time to ask both of your elected officials questions that have been on your mind.
Breakfast with Gary is a monthly event held 7:30 to 9 a.m. the final Friday of the month at the Cafe of the Americas (3019 Minnehaha Avenue South). $5 buys breakfast.
