[chambernews] We would like to invite you to participate, be heard, be in touch with the Broadband efforts in Kanabec County.

[Karen Amundson (Chamber)]

Dear Chamber Members,
We would like to be sure that you are aware of this meeting and would 
please consider attending it.
It's imperative that our community stay on top of this initiative.
Thank you.
Karen.


OnThursday March 7th, 2013 from 1:00pm to 4:30pm there will be a
Community Kick Off meeting at the Eastwood Senior Living Community Center
160 Valhalla Circle in Mora
and we feel that it is so very important that you attend.

    We are so fortunate that Kanabec County was chosen as one of nine
    communities by the Blandin Foundation to be a Blandin Broadband
    Community. This is a two year program designed to provide
    planning and organizing support to rural Minnesota communities that
    demonstrate readiness and resources to either bring robust broadband
    adoption to communities without it, or assist already connected
    communities to make the best use of information and services
    broadband can deliver.

    Communities and organizations within the community are eligible
    to apply for up to a total of $100,000 in grant funds for projects
    that fit program criteria over the next year.
    This meeting will be an opportunity for community leaders and
    residents to learn about the program, help assess our community's
    strengths and gaps as it pertains to broadband,
    and begin to identify projects that may be eligible for financial
    support through the program. We hope to stimulate ideas for projects
    as well as discuss potential projects already in the formulation stage.

    We are asking for a one-time commitment from you to attend this meeting.
    You are certainly welcome to stay active in the project and be more
    involved, but this meeting itself is a one-time only endeavor
    that we really hope that you will attend.

    Thank you.

    Karen Amundson, Executive Director - Mora Area Chamber of Commerce
    Member of Kanabec Broadband Initiative
