The Iron Range young professionals organization ReGen will launch a month of “Be the Change” events in October. The kickoff is Thursday, Oct. 5 at the Minnesota Discovery Center in Chisholm. That program features the Theater of Public Policy, a comedy act that blends good natured local and Minnesota political humor.

Here’s how ReGen describes the series:

“Be the Change” is a series of events meant to gather and energize individuals in the community to take the first or next step to become involved in civic, policy, non-profits or grassroot efforts.

There will be events every Thursday through October, always Thursdays at 6 p.m. at the Minnesota Discovery Center. All events are free and open to the public.

This is the lineup:

Oct. 5 — Kickoff event featuring Theater of Public Policy

Oct. 12 — Civic and Policy Engagement

Oct. 19 — Nonprofits

Oct. 26 — Grassroots Efforts

You can find more information at the ReGen website.

We’ll be talking about ReGen and a lot more in my Oct. 14 Great Northern Radio Show at Hibbing Community College, which also features live music, comedy and more.
