Hi Neighbors,
Happy Holidays!
The ice at Lafayette seems ok thanks to the City of Duluth crews, neighbor Ricky Lyle and a small crew of volunteers tending the ice and building access.
The intent is to have lower Lafayette open from 10am to 10 pm over the holiday break if the ice looks good and the temperature is reasonable.
If you head over to use the rink, would you sign in at the counter? We would like to see who is using the park, thank you.
Thank you and happy skating!
Dawn

From Beth Peterson:
The south St. Louis Soil and Water Conservation district is hosting a workshop on tree care on Wednesday September 14th. We are hoping to provide information to people who had trees damaged in the storm that need care or replacement, or anyone interested in learning about how to improve the health of their trees. I was wondering if you would be willing to posting a notice of this on the Park Point Community Club web page. Park point is a unique place ecologically and I know many residents did see damage following the storms this July.
What: Tree Care workshop
With: South St. Louis Soil and Water Conservation District
When: Wednesday, September 14,
From: 6-8 pm
Where: Grand Lake Community Center
6279 Industrial Rd, Saginaw, MN 55779
Take highway 53 north from Duluth to Industrial Road
What to Bring: Questions!
I have attached a copy of our advertisement for the event. Please let me know if you need any additional information!
Thanks much,
