We’re having a very special event and community conversation and you’re invited! Please join us on October 11th at Farview Park as our guest at the WBC Membership and Business Breakfast!

Enjoy a free breakfast, network with other business and property owners, and hear about West Broadway Business and Area Coalition’s recent accomplishments.

There will also be a presentation by Hennepin County on the Bottineau Transitway, the Northside Light Rail Transit Project. The County will be addressing the potential alignments, opportunities, impacts, and most importantly, YOUR QUESTIONS/CONCERNS! You are an important stakeholder in the community and your voice must be heard on this issue.

As part of the WBC Membership Drive, we will be giving out door prizes at the event.

Hi neighbor,

Some more branches fell from the tree next door into the garden a few
weeks ago. Dan Peterson and I cut them up so we’ll have to have
another bonfire over there.

Also, I’m looking for someone to mow the areas on the east and south
sides of the garden. Different people have volunteered at different
times. Is this something you could do?

There are some fine looking pumpkins growing in the garden. Please
tell folks to let them be until they mature. Perhaps we can a harvest
party there soon.

Ideas?

I just received fantastic news from MN Snap that their organization received a large grant from Petsmart to conduct up to 1,300 spay or neuter operations for animals living in Ward 5. If you are not already familiar with MN Snap, I highly recommend you learn more. www.mnsnap.org

Feral cat colonies are increasing and your neighborhoods have one of the highest levels of cat overpopulation in the city. MN Snap would like to contact you to start planning how they can help you curb this overpopulation and also serve your residents who have pets that need to be spayed or neutered. Please let me know if you’re interested and I can help arrange for a time to meet via conference call or meeting place.

Hello. I am working on the renovation of the North Branch Library on
l8th & Emerson for Emerge Community Development. The project was
selected to compete for grant money by having people vote for the
project through their facebook page. The competition is fierce: the
Swedish Institute, the Schubert Theater, etc. so we wanted to reach
people who will likely support the project and have them vote. You can
vote once each day. So, the reason for membership is to provide
information on this specific project and to be available to answer
questions.

The voting period is only three weeks and it started today. Before
today, we were not allowed to tell anybody about it – hence the last
minute request.

I can be reached at 612-718-5954 if you have questions.

Thank you.

A bit more information about this…

In 2011, Emerge Community Development will begin restoration of former
North Branch Library building at 18th & Emerson which is an 1894
historic landmark that served as a beacon of learning and opportunity
for the North Minneapolis community until its closing in 1977.
