Last week,our guest speaker was Brian Kelley, owner of Young Builders and Designers. Brian has a background in architecture and building construction. His enterprise features career exploration programs for young people. He has worked with Minneapolis public schools, but this was cut short over six months ago as schools shut down. One of his programs has a format for students to learn about running a business, where kids develop and present their business plans. Brian also runs a side business where he sells antique toys on the internet.
At Wood Lake, they are gearing up for the Half Haunted Halloween activity on October 24th, and planning is underway for the 50th anniversary of Wood Lake in 2021.
Thanks again to Tony Koval for heading the Trunk and Treat on Oct 17. Over 500 people attended the event where about 25 organizations treated attendees to treats. Thanks to Morris Nilsen Mortuary for use of their parking lot. Optimists also treated kids to wooden toys, but alas, a heavy crowd ran them out of stock before the end of the night.
