Ludlow travels to Croatia with our Lt. Governor Mark was asked by Lt. Governor Shunk to join her in Partners for Peace mission initiated by Minnesota with its sister country Croatia in 1995. Mark traveled with 30 other Minnesotans in September to meet with various government, education, and business officials to help the young democracy of Croatia. Mark represented tourism for Minnesota.
Tourism is the number one opportunity for economic growth in Croatia.
This will be an on going commitment by Mark. Six years ago Sally recognized that without some local financial support our hospital would struggle to exist. She formed the W.C. Heiam medical foundation, named after our first community doctor. Among other fund raising events Sally and Mark sponsor the annual charity ball. We try to preserve and protect our great Northern Minnesota environment wherever we can with business practices that preserve and enhance our wonderful resources around us.
