and Todd and I will work our way down.

evening. This is I think our second year we’ve had the opportunity to sponsor the Summer
Concert Series so we enjoyed it last year. We believe the residents of Chanhassen and others did
as well so it’s a pleasure for us to present this check for $2,000 to sponsor this year’s series.

Mayor Furlong: Todd can take this through the drive thru tomorrow.
Todd Gerhardt: Yeah. I’ll get it in that tube one way or another. Gregg, I just want to thank
KleinBanks. You guys have been a great corporate citizen. Constantly giving back to the
community so thank the Klein family and the whole organization. Thank you.
Gregg Lovell: Thank you very much.
Councilman Litsey: Thank you very much. Great series.
Mayor Furlong: The Summer Concert Series is a great event that we have afternoons and
evenings. Great time to bring people out and gather together and KleinBank has done a
wonderful job sponsoring this last year and we look forward to it again. It’s just a great
community event. And it makes you think of spring. That’s always good.
Todd Gerhardt: We have a park out there somewhere underneath the white snow.
