Notable Quotes (4)
I would say as on the way up here, uh, Thursday night, uh, a number of us in the council were at the, uh, community center, uh, for the dedication of the woman, uh, uh, soldier, uh, monument, which was delayed from Memorial Day and, uh, was a really great event.
The Daniel Olson, uh, Egan American Legion has made, uh, women recognizing women veterans one of our priorities when I took over.
We have such a good group of people, and our city is just so full of people that are willing to help and do things. And we did good fundraising and it's up there now for everybody to see.
the item that we're going to vote on in the consent is to accept, uh, the donation of the statue, uh, into the city of Eagan. And I just want to thank the Legion and Margo, uh, for all the work that you guys did to make that statue possible. And to add that to the Tribute Plaza.
