District 622 mentioned very briefly in their Board highlights about our program
on January 15th regarding our Human Rights Day. It was suggested we meet
with Eden Prairie commission people to exchange ideas for a better Human
Rights Day next year. Each commission member is to come up with two ideas
on how to better improve next years projected Human Rights . d for
discussion at the next meeting of the commission.

City Hall department heads.
