We encourage participation from all members of our community, including: community members of all ages and backgrounds, college students, high school students, university faculty & staff, local leaders, teachers, elders, and anyone who considers themselves part of the West Central Minnesota community (not limited to Morris or Stevens County).
At this meeting, we will brainstorm ideas and come to a decision on 3 oral histories projects we will run this fall and spring.

No experience is necessary to participate in either the kick-off meeting or the oral history projects.
