Dear Coop Members,  (and folks who are not yet members)

   We have a lot of work to do.  Those of us who believe in life,
not death, hope, not fear, and people, not money must "Change
America's Priorities".  It is an enormous task and the stakes are
big, but there are few options.

   Activities at the park will kick-off Memorial weekend with a
community dance May 24th with "Home on the Range". a local
community dance group.   The 9th annual Northstar Arts Camp will take
place June 17-20 with a performance of a locally-grown arts camp play that
Friday evening.

   At this years 74th annual Midsummer Festival, June 21-22,
the theme is "Building the Future: Celebrating the Wellstone Legasy".
A forum Saturday afternoon will be a grassroots tribute to the lives
of Paul and Sheila Wellstone, and a discussion of a new vision for
America.  As usual, the Midsummer will include a wonderful mix of
community, celebration, political vision and family fun.

Call the Park at (218)262-1350 for info/RSVP's, or email us
at mesabapark@hotmail.com

We are excited about spring, the new season at the Park and the
possibilities for the future.  We are confidant that you, members of this
co-op, will support your co-op by sending in you yearly assessment of $20
or more.  We cannot do it without you. Thank you in advance and hope to
see you this year at the park.

       For the Park Board,
       David Bednarczuk
