this project--they are working three days in
a row. Watch your email for announcements
about work at the Arb! Bulb checking is

groups. Tad encouraged everyone to join in
if you want to help. They are also going to
put up displays at the Arb. So come for an
hour or two if you can. Display people need
work gloves, a small heavy hammer, and wire
cutters. Display Set Up is getting to crunch
time. Mike Boen collected alphabetized list
today with phone number and they plan on
using a calling tree to set up work times
especially for next week when things need to
be finished November 10-12th. There is a
work crew planned for Saturday afternoon at
the Arb for those non deer hunters. |

Kevin
Provost was the speaker for today's program on heart
health and the Brainerd Lakes Heart and Vascular
Center. This is a new project that started in May at
St. Joseph's hospital. Kevin explained that the need
in the community prompted this addition and remodel
to their present facility. It got its start with an
anonymous one million dollar donation matched by the
St. Joseph's Foundation.St.Joseph is asking for help
to raise 4 million needed to complete the project.
The economy and the need for the high priced
machinery has made it necessary for the hospital to
start a donation program with a donor wall.
Officially it is due to open in January. The
completed facility will be 18,000 square feet and
include 24 hour cardiac care. The remodel in the
construction includes is focused on the lobby. St.
Joseph's transfers about 300 patients a year to
different area heart facilities and this program
should reach most of them without the delays that
sometimes can cause serious complications. The
mission of the center is to provide a comprehensaive
team-based program of high quality patient centered
heart care.The two other organizations which have
partnered with St. Joseph's are St. Mary's Duluth
Clinic Heart Center and Central Minnesota Heart
Center of CentrCare. The scope of the program
includes: invasive/interventional cardiology
services, the interventional peripheral vascular
disease services, the clinical cardiology program,
the non-invasive diagnostic imaging, and inpatient
care. It will not include cardiovascular surgery.
The center's cath lab will provide that immediate
care that will save lives after a heart attack. They
are planning on attracting at least three
cardiologists who will live and work in the Brainerd
Area. 
Mike
Boen received his thank you note for BL Broadcasting's
contribution to the very successful Coats for Kids campaign from
David Downing today. An estimated 2000 coats were distributed
with many thankful stories from the recipients. Thanks to
Crystal Cleaners, the radio station and Kinship for continuing
this effort to keep children warm! Mike encouraged us to
patronize Crystal Cleaners because of all their hard work on
this worthwhile community project.
