District 11 SOAR Come Together to Learn and to Meet with Leaders of Government

In July, District 11 SOAR had their annual picnic in Mountain Iron, Minnesota. A longtime SOAR activist, Bonnie Carey, did a presentation to highlight ways SOAR chapters can help their communities. She talked about her experiences participating in pickets, helping with local election campaigns, attending rallies, and more.

The picnic was also attended by Representatives from the offices of United States Senators Al Franken (MN) and Amy Klobuchar (MN), as well as United States Representative Rick Nolan (MN-8). State Rep. Julie Sandstede (06A) was there to talk with the members and to learn of issues affecting seniors.

Also in attendance were various representatives from the AFL-CIO. This event is a great representation of how SOAR chapters can come together to share ideas across their district while breaking bread with leaders of state and federal government.
