This is your
chance to be a part of moving Minnesota on to a clean energy path. Join us this Saturday, April 14th, at the
State Capitol as we gather to learn about positive solutions we can take as
individuals and as a state that will reduce global warming pollution,
strengthen our state's economy, and improve our shared environment.
Be a part of
the solution! We can curb global warming if we take comprehensive actions now
that add up to meaningful cuts in carbon emissions.

Annual Wine Tasting and Silent Auction Event

(1501 Central Parkway, Eagan)
When: Thursday, April 19th
Time: 6:00 -- 9:00 p.m.

This Wine Event is the Foundation’s major fundraiser and public event of the year, the fundraiser that permits the Foundation to have resources to respond to needs in the community as they arise. There will also be lots of different wines to taste, nice food, a variety of silent auction items, and a lot of nice people to mingle with!
As the community foundation for Eagan, the Foundation annually distributes scholarships donated by community businesses and organizations to graduating seniors living in Eagan; this year the Foundation will be distributing $45,000 in scholarships.
Supplemental
donations may be designated for the Eagan Core Greenway Fund!

This is Friends of the Eagan Core Greenway's major clean-up project
of the year. This will be a light
activity focusing on trash (candy wrappers, aluminum cans, plastic bottles,
etc.) found along the roughly two miles of trails that exist within the
park. It will be suitable for families
with children. We will divide the
trails among the group that arrives.
Consider participating even if you can only come for part of the
time. And feel free to invite and bring
friends who may not be on our mailing list.
The event will give you the chance to socialize with other Friends of
the Eagan Core Greenway at the end of the activity.

Greenway.
Come by and visit our booth and displays and sign up to volunteer

We'll look forward to seeing many of you at these events!
