The Lanesboro Area Community Foundation (LACF) announces its Annual Banquet including a special guest speaker.
The LACF Annual Dinner is scheduled for Sunday, April 5, 2020. Social hour and silent auction will begin at 4:30 p.m., with dinner and guest speaker starting at 5:30 p.m. in the Lanesboro Community Center.
The LACF Board of Directors is proud to announce the guest speaker at the Annual Banquet will be Kim Norton, Mayor of Rochester, Minn.
Kim Norton became the first woman mayor of Rochester, Minn., in 2018 and took office on January 8, 2019. Most recently Kim won a Bush Fellowship, which allowed her to complete a master’s degree at the University of Minnesota’s Humphrey School of Public Affairs focused on leadership and energy policy. This work allowed her to investigate communities noted for their sustainability and livability.
Prior to her fellowship, Kim served in the Minnesota House of Representatives, representing District 25B. During her 10 years as a legislator, Kim introduced many pieces of significant legislation including the Destination Medical Center (DMC) economic development project aimed at positioning Rochester as a premier location for healthcare.
Home Sweet Home Cafe and Cakery will cater the dinner. Tickets are $25.00 and can be purchased at Merchants Bank and Granny’s Liquor in Lanesboro, by calling Jim Haugen at (507) 467-2242 or contact any board member.
