Way to GO Team Wilde Roast Cafe!
We raised over $7,000 for the Minnesota AIDS Project (MAP). This is really exciting because MAP keeps losing funding every year (http://www.lavendermagazine.com/artman/publish/article_2506.php).
Again, THANKS TEAM for putting us in the TOP 5!

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
Tomorrow I start my new job as Director of the St. Paul School's Program at Belwin. The picture is taken from the tower on the site (in Afton) of one of the praires. This is what I will see every day! I know this is a huge step in a different direction, a less traveled one, that I am excited about.
To make things easier Dean and I sold our house on Thursday! So, now we are searching for the new one on that side of the cities.

Friends,
After long thought and consideration Dean and I have decided that one Wilde Roast Café is enough work for us.
We are very pleased with the rapid success of the 518 Hennepin location, but we are not ready to expand to other locations. Expansion of the Wilde Roast Café may be considered again after our third anniversary of the café.
Thank you for your help in our success,
Tom DeGree and Dean Schlaak

Green acres is the place for me. Farm livin' is the life for me. Land spreadin' out so far and wide Keep Manhattan, just give me that countryside.
What does this mean?
In January a job opened up with my school district as Director of Belwin Educational Center. It is a district run program in Afton, MN. All 3rd and 5th Graders in St. Paul Public Schools spend one day at center learning about the environment.
It is a job I always wanted: working with kids outdoor. Today I found out I got it! I will start in a week.

Last night was the P FUND 2006 Scholarship Celebration Program. P FUND was founded in 1987 as a community builder for GLBTA future leaders. This mission is done by giving grants and scholarships to developing leaders in the GLBTA community.
Dean and I were asked by our friend Bill King to co-sponsor a scholarship. The intent of our scholarship to be awarded to a GLBT teacher or student pursuing a teaching degree.
The reciever of the first King/DeGree/Schlaak Scholarship was Mark French. You might know Mark as being the out principal of the Osseo School District who was on the TV program with Rosie O'Donnell. Mark is seeking his doctoral degree and his superintendent's licensure.
Congratulations Mark!

Well, I must admit City Pages did get one right.
2006- BEST PIZZA: Pizza Nea
Pizza Nea is one of our North East neighbors and has a great hand tossed pizza cooked in a wood burning oven. Plus Mike, the owner, is a really nice guy. Several months ago Pizza Nea opened a second location in the Uptown. The build-out is beautiful you should check it out next time you are at the Lagoon for a movie.
