Day at the Capitol to Support MN State Grant 2/25

Students,

It's that time of year again - time to advocate for the Minnesota State Grant. Augsburg students, collectively receive over 3 million dollars in State Grant funding. This event, hosted by the Minnesota Private College Council, facilitates meetings between students and their representatives to talk about the State Grant.

A few important facts:

1) Breakfast and lunch are provided
2) We will ride the green line together
3) Day starts 8:00 a.m. and we return to campus by 3:00 p.m.
4) Important year to have a good turn-out because there are new House Representatives AND it's a budgeting year. The MN State Grants are ALWAYS looked at when things need to be cut out of the budget and so hearing from students helps.
5) You will get to meet with your representatives and learn about grass roots advocacy.

For Sale: Modern Glass Top Dining Table

I am selling a "Modern Nova Glass Top Leather Wrapped Steel Dining Table" that we bought at Macy's a few years ago. The glass top does have a few minor scratches, but nothing noticeable. We can throw in 4 leather wrapped chairs for free, but the leather has damage to the seat area on all 4 (though I am sure they can be repaired, if you are crafty). The table is on the smaller side, so would be perfect for an apartment. Asking $150, OBO.

Dimensions:
Length: 60" Height: 30" Width: 35"

We can also deliver if you are unable to pick it up. Please email me for photos!
