He also explained he views the upcoming meetings as taking the city's annual summertime Night to Unite event "one step further." Dushin said growing up in rural New York state and then spending time in college towns, she was used to very interconnected communities. However, when she bought her first home in Roseville nine years ago, she was surprised to not see a similar sense of community. "I have felt there's a lack of connection," Dushin noted, adding she thinks there's a division between the city's older residents, many of whom have called Roseville home for decades, and the city's newer and younger families. Grefenberg noted the Roseville Police Department and the Roseville Area Schools will also play an active role in the meetings. For her part, Dushin said she and other residents have heard chatter about things like bullying in schools. She thinks the upcoming meetings are the perfect venue to address such things. "We want to see if a sense of community helps," she said. Dushin added she doesn't have expectations about the meetings will go, or what issues people might want to address, but she's eager to find out. "I have my own ideas," she said. "And I'll be participating." The meetings require registration by Apri126, by emailing human.ri h�ts(c�ci.roseville.mn.us or by calling 651-792-7026.
