Newly remodeled and celebrating 10 YEARS in Lakeville. Congratulations to Dr. Nicole Lauer, Dr. Alison Behnke and the entire team at HealthSource Chiropractic of Lakeville!

Thank you to Congresswoman Angie Craig for spending the hour with us talking about her work in Lakeville and in Washington. Mayor Hellier introduced Rep. Craig and talked about the funding that she worked with the City of Lakeville on for I-35 interchange improvements, rail car storage, and the proposed new public safety training facility. If you were not able to attend but have questions for her or her staff, she encourages you to reach out HERE. You can also follow her newsletter for updates. As always, thank you to our 2023 series sponsor, Interstate PowerSystems and our host B52 Burgers + Brew!

Thank you to Jennifer and her Green Mill team for hosting our August Lunch Mob! The food was excellent, and the company even better! Lunch Mobs are simple - come as you are able, order off them menu, pay your own tab, and enjoy lunch with some friends new and old!

We will be discussing marijuana legislation in our August Access & Issues meeting tomorrow at 8am. All members are welcome to join. If you would like to join the 8am zoom call, please email Jeanne Hutter for the meeting link.

Grant funding available

DLI has grant funding available for organizations to do outreach and education about the Minnesota earned sick and safe time (ESST) law and the Women's Economic Security Act (WESA), which includes workplace rights and protections for new and expectant parents.

The goal of these grants is to increase employers' and workers' awareness and understanding of these laws.
