OUR NEXT MEETING
Tuesday, August 22nd: 7:30 a.m., at Edina Country Club
 
Greg Hoyt of Rustica, Gather Venture Group will speak.
 

An entrepreneur at heart, Greg has a history of building great brands.

He was part of the original team at Caribou Coffee and he managed marketing and corporate engagement for the National Hockey League’s Minnesota Wild in its infancy.

Greg co-founded Dogwood Coffee in 2010, a multi-channel business that has been recognized consistently as one of the top specialty coffee roasters in the country since its inception. Most recently, Greg purchased Rustica Bakery from its founder in 2015, with the goal of staying true to what made the product exceptional and capitalizing on avenues for growth.

Born and raised in California, Greg earned a BA from San Diego State University. He and his wife live in Edina and have raised four kids.

 
There will be no remote access via Zoom for this meeting.

At the EMRC Family Picnic: Tuesday, September 5th, at Arneson Acres, 5:00 - 8:00 p.m.
 
 
Once again, we will collect children’s books at our annual family picnic on September 5th. The books will be donated to the Minnesota chapter of Reach Out and Read, a non-profit that partners with pediatric health care providers to educate parents of infants on the importance of reading and provide them with free books to take home. More than 80% of a child’s brain is formed during their first three years. Starting at birth, reading with children puts them on a path to success. It creates strong parent-child bonds and promotes healthy brain development. Please bring one or more books for children age new-born to three years to the picnic. If you won’t be able to attend the picnic you can still donate by bringing book(s) to the August 22nd or 29th meeting. Books written in Spanish or Somali are especially needed. You can find them at Wild Rumpus, a locally-owned children’s bookstore in Linden Hills.
