I just happened to be on the city of Brainerd website today and noticed that there are a number of openings on committees that help to make our city great. So I thought I’d bring a little attention to it.
Quite often we get so enthralled with the Presidential election that we forget that our city and county government that is in action right here in the lakes area has a direct effect on how we go about our lives. If you haven’t considered these opportunities in the past, maybe it’s time. So here are the current opportunities for service! The descriptions below are taken from the city of Brainerd website.
