Your representation at this event is valued, as we experiment with the first College Fair hosted at Camp Ripley, MN. The goal is to reach out to as many people we can in Central Minnesota who are in search of higher education and paving their path to a successful future. Your help in advertising, providing items that may enhance the event and your ideas are welcome. Networking is a way to build stronger, vibrant foundations within our organizations. We will be offering opportunities for everyone to share ideas, success and failures, to improve our environments of higher learning. I look forward to meeting everyone and learning from all of you. I would anticipate many military members, veterans, their families and high school students, but hopefully many, many more. Spread the word and help me make this event a huge success. Team work is the way to success. Questions contact: Kathy Marshik, , Andres Freeman at ,
