Education Minnesota Retired supports
the Education Minnesota Foundation

There is an opportunity for Retired members to support Education Minnesota’s
Foundation for Excellence in Teaching and Learning while playing golf ~ at no charge!
Education Minnesota Retired is sponsoring two golf teams of 4 golfers on each team to
play in a charitable scramble golf tournament. It is being held on August 10, at the
Prestwick Golf Club in Woodbury.

Contact Wes Tessman at wtessman1@gmail.com if you’d like to submit your name in a drawing to play on one of our two Retired teams. The deadline to apply is Friday, June 26.

The Education Minnesota Foundation for Excellence in Teaching and Learning offers
grants to Education Minnesota members, which includes classroom teachers, post-
