Guest speaker was Bill Roddy who, with his wife Gail, leads a non-profit venture called Osiris Organization that has worked with troubled youth at the nearby Hennepin County Home School.

The goal of the program, which is provided to the Home School under a contract with Hennepin County, is to provide adjudicated, at-risk residents with technology and computer training, as well as mentoring and life skills.

After establishing its program at the Home School next to Glen Lake Golf Course, Osiris went on to open additional computer centers at more than a dozen Minneapolis parks. Home School computer graduates often work as instructors at these centers.

For his work, EP resident Bill Roddy has been presented a Humanitarian of the Year award from the University of St. Thomas. He is a 1979 business graduate of the school.
