On a chilly but sunny November day in Minnesota, Alexandria Rotarians arrived at Grand Arbor by Knute Nelson for a meeting outside of their normal Broadway Ballroom meeting space. After a lunch prepared by chef Matthew Jensen and a brief presentation about Grand Arbor by Mark Anderson, President and CEO of Knute Nelson, and Carli Lindemann, Housing Administrator, Rotarians broke up into five groups for guided tours. It even included a stop at the new home of one of their own, Don Krueger. He was one of the first to call Grand Arbor home and he loves it.
