The Voyageurs National Park Association was just given The President's Volunteer Service Award. a national award recognizing volunteer service by groups, families, and individuals in their communities across the country.
VNPA has been the leading nonprofit support group for Voyageurs National Park since 1965, working to protect and promote the Park’s resources, and is well deserving of this honor. More on the VNPA website.
Check out this blog entry on Fresh Energy by Michael Noble - turns out the new solar power plant on the roof of River Centre nearly doubles the solar capacity of the entire state, and is the "largest solar thermal system in the Upper Midwest."
Kudos to the City, St. Paul District Energy, and State Office of Energy Security and River Centre.
