Friends and neighbors!
Attention history buffs!
We begin the month of May with a program about Minnesota’s part in WWI.
The month of May offers
more Legacy Programs. These free programs are funded in part or whole with
money from the vote of the people of Minnesota on November 4, 2008 which
dedicated funding to preserve Minnesota’s arts and cultural heritage.
On Friday, May 5th
at the Lifehouse Coffee Shop on Barclay Ave at 4:00 PM, Arn Kind will present a
riveting program on the 100th anniversary of the United States’
entrance into World War I. Our participation in WWI only lasted 19 months but
involved more than 100,000 men from Minnesota. What an astonishing number!
These men served in the Army, Navy, Marine Corp, and Medical Corp. Arn Kind
will dress the part for this exciting living history program as you learn about
the causes of the war, why Americans got involved, strategies used to win the war,
the role women played, and the life of a typical Minnesota soldier.
I certainly hope you can
attend. I would if I could.
