ALEXANDRIA — There's been a change in where the Friday, May 6 "Wake Up Alexandria" will take place.
The Runestone Community Center, located at 802 3rd Avenue West in Alexandria, will host the Alexandria Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce event. It will take place from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m.
Wake Up Alexandria is a Chamber networking event that is open to everyone. It offers an opportunity for attendees to learn about the businesses and organizations within the community.
A $1 admission is requested, with all proceeds donated to the day’s nonprofit recipient, Central Lakes Symphony Orchestra. All Chamber members will be placed in a drawing for the Pot of Gold, which is currently valued at more than $5,400.
The Runestone Community Center (RCC) is a valuable asset to the City of Alexandria. It can host dry floor events year-round, including concerts, sales expos, graduations, community events, tradeshows and more.

Ice is also available year-round, offering skating, hockey and curling lessons, games and tournaments.
In October 2020, a bonding bill was passed by the Minnesota Legislature that included $5.6 million in state funds for an expansion of the RCC. A Capital Campaign is currently under way to raise additional funds for the project. For more information, visit runestonecommunitycenter.com .
