Dear Neighbors,

This Saturday, October 14th, I?ll be hosting a community coffee hour at Dunn Bros in Apple Valley (15265 Galaxie Ave, Apple Valley, MN 55124). Join our neighbors and me for a warm beverage and to share what?s on your mind. Although the legislative session doesn?t begin until February, I appreciate these opportunities to gain input and gather ideas for future legislation.

*Celebrating Minnesota?s First Indigenous Peoples? Day*

This year, the Minnesota Legislature passed into law the formal recognition of Indigenous Peoples? Day every second Tuesday in October. Schools that are open will dedicate time every year on this state-recognized holiday to teach kids about Native American history and culture here in our state. Our students deserve a well-rounded, comprehensive education that reflects fact-based, historical information. This was a long overdue measure to pass into state law and I was glad to support it.

*Welcome to Apple Valley, Bodega 42!*

A big welcome to Ezequiel Quijada, Fernando Mellado, and Saul Mellado, the new owners of Bodega 42. The food market will offer up flavors of Latin America, with a wide variety of produce, meats, and more, adding to the rich diversity of our Apple Valley community. Their hard work and determination in getting this local business up and running is an inspiring story of achieving the American Dream.

Even if you can?t attend the coffee hour this Saturday, I?ll be hosting another one on November 4th, same time, same location.?

I hope you?ll keep in touch with your thoughts, input, and questions anytime. I appreciate hearing from you!

Sincerely,

Robert Bierman
