You don’t want to miss next month. Audrey Aronson Johnson is a local treasure. She grew up in Lakeville, and is still meeting with her grade school classmates to this day! Come hear her talk about her life growing up in Lakeville, the experience of being the first woman in management at Gilette Company, her family’s legacy here in town, and why she decided to write a book about it all!

Not only does Exuberance Chiropractic have a gorgeous new space, with new services being added shortly, they have added a two-room event space for both small and larger gatherings! F3 - as in Final, Final, Final – will open shortly and will be a great new meeting and event space for residents to utilize for private events!

We are just a couple weeks away from launching our BRAND NEW Leadership Lakeville series! Sponsor logos will be on all pre, during, and post marketing for the entire year. For more information, contact Shanen.

The U.S. Department of Labor has a new overtime regulation that affects employers in Minnesota. Under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), some workers are specifically exempt from the FLSA’s minimum wage and overtime protections, including bona fide executive, administrative or professional employees. This exemption applies when:



1. an employee is paid a salary;
2. the salary is not less than a minimum salary threshold amount; and
3. the employee primarily performs executive, administrative or professional duties.

The department’s final rule, which will go into effect on July 1, 2024, will increase the standard salary level that helps define and delimit which salaried workers are entitled to overtime pay protections under the FLSA. Learn more at dol.gov/OT.

Thank you to all of our sponsors who make this tournament possible each year! It was a close one, but Brackett’s came through with a gorgeous day as always!
