Day at the Capitol 2012

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 8th, 2012

1:15 - 4 PM

BEFORE YOU GET THERE

We hope you will take this opportunity to meet and educate your Senator and Representative about what dental hygienists do and what we can do to help meet the oral health needs of those living in your community. With so many new legislators in the Minnesota Legislature this year, they want to hear from you!

Please visit www.leg.state.mn.us and look for "who represents me" to find your legislators. If you click on the name it will bring you to a page giving you information on your Representative or Senator. We encourage you to use the contact information and schedule appointments to meet them while you are visiting the buildings.

Parking Information

  • Parking is limited so please consider car pooling
  • Some free parking in Kelly Inn lot, but with all the snow,it too is very limited!
  • DO NOT PARK IN THE SEARS PARKING LOT. YOU WILL BE TOWED!!
  • There are also meters on nearby streets

If you have never joined us for Day at the Capitol, you have missed out on a great time! Not only do you get to network with other hygienists and student dental hygienists, you have the opportunity to see your capitol and how legislation works in Minnesota.
