The event with the Eagan Seniors will be on Tuesday August 13th, @10AM. Members of the EHS are asked to arrive at 9:15am for set-up. Members should park on the street so the seniors
can park in the parking lot. We need to make an “Event” in our guest book so the seniors can sign in. Erica will be sending Kim the exact head count before the event. We have limited
it to 25 visitors. We have 12 chairs that can be set up. Kim will get napkins, water, cookies, and coffee to serve. Kim, Dawn, Pat, Tim, Lynae and Mary Ellen will be present to answer
