Listen & Learn: RCC Expansion Project
Learn how the Runestone Community Center (RCC) expansion project is positioning Alexandria for continued social and economic success at a one-hour, informative, virtual Listen & Learn event on Thursday, June 29 from 12-1 pm.
Recent high-profile financial backing has created positive momentum for the RCC expansion project, which is projected to generate an additional $2 million annually for area businesses. Once the expansion and renovations are complete, the RCC will provide increased opportunities for on-ice activities such as curling, figure skating and hockey, and dry-floor events such as concerts, graduations, seminars, and trade shows. The project is an important investment in our community and better positions the RCC to meet current and future demand.
Marty Schultz, Alexandria City Administrator; Kevin Kopischke, RCC Capital Campaign Committee Member; and Kimberly Albert, Public Relations Consultant, will share the status of the project and how it will benefit the community and discuss what needs to happen next to push it across the finish line.
The event is open to everyone and is free of charge. Register by visiting the Alexandria Chamber website at alexandriamn.org and look for the registration link on the main page. Listen & Learn is a one-hour informative virtual event hosted by the Alexandria Chamber. These sessions offer information, education, support, and resources on topics that impact the community and its diverse business and organizational partners. For more information, call the Alexandria Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce at 320-763-3161 or email [email protected].
