MHBA Road Cleaning reminder - Saturday, May 17

Attention Minnesota Homebrewers! The MHBA committed to keeping a stretch of Shady Oak Road relatively clean. MnDOT posted a thank you sign a sign and our group cheerfully cleaned up the 2 mile stretch for the first time last fall. The next cleaning session is this Saturday, May 17th. We're meeting at 9am in the parking lot on the west side of Shady Oak Road about 1/2 block north of Excelsior Blvd. Rick will have home roasted coffee and a box of donuts to get you started. We also have the safety speech, fancy vests, empty garbage bags plus words of encouragement. After cleaning (around 11:30), stop by Mike's house for some beer and lunch. The address is: 9060 Douglas Drive, Eden Prairie. Phone is 952-949-2268. Mike's cell phone is 651-334-0179. Take Shady Oak south, get on 212 South. Stay in the left 2 lanes and where it splits with 5, stay on 312 (it's a fairly new road and may not be on your map). Exit at Eden Prairie Road and turn right at the end of the exit ramp. Go South to Pioneer Trail and turn right. Turn right on Braxton and another quick right turn onto Douglas Drive. It's the 5th house on the left with the driveway that curves in front of the door. Let us know if you can make it so we purchase enough donuts, lunch, and brew enough coffee and beer. Remember to wear heavy shoes or boots and bring gloves. You can keep any treasure you find! So mark your calendars, send us a message, or just show up. It would really be helpful to have possibly 4 - 6 crews with vehicles so we can section the road into small bits. Bring you cell phones. See you May 17th! Sincerely, Rick Oftel and Mike Behrendt Rick Work 952 887-8121 Rick Cell 952 356-6459 Home 952 941-9378 //Mike Behrendt MGBrew(a)comcast.net
