The Division of Race and Equity invites you to join Council Vice-President Andrea Jenkins in a community conversation facilitated by We Are All Criminal’s president Emily Baxter and board chair Nadine Graves. On the National Day of Racial Healing, this conversation will center on how reforming the criminal justice system is a strategy to reverse the racialized harm impacting people of color, most significantly Black and American Indian, and lead to greater racial healing.

There is a constant need for blood donations, but even more so during the holidays. However, since this time of year is so busy, fewer people end up donating which creates an even greater blood shortage. This drive is being organized by a Kingfield High School Senior, Adelaide Granse, who besides having an interest in medicine as a career, would like to fill a need and encourage people to do something they might not have previously considered.
People ages 16 and up can donate as long as they have a valid form of identification. Those under 18 will also need parental permission, however. All eligible individuals are wanted. People will only be turned away if Red Cross determines that a person is not in their prime condition the day of donation (i.e. they are sick or their heart rate is too fast).
People who would like more information or would like to register should contact Adelaide Granse at addie@loonmagnet.net.

Also COME EARLY at 2:45 to hear the special gathering music by the Minnesota Jazz Orchestra’s SUPER SAX ENSEMBLE.
Looking to meet your neighbors and perhaps build new connections? Or maybe just a chance to let your holiday spirits soar? Just want to do “something fun” with no tedious prep? Want to recall old holiday memories or create new ones? How about the simple joy of making music with your voice or instruments and with your neighbors?
Then celebrate the music of the holidays. We’ll have songbooks and simple instrumental books and small percussion instruments. The party is free and so are the cookies and everyone is welcome. Still, we’ll happily accept donations for YOUTHLINK (www.youthlinkmn.org) our local friends who provide services to homeless youth.
So bring your instrument, your voice, your neighbors for this annual tradition in the beautiful sanctuary of historic Judson Church www.judsonchurhc.org 612-822-0649.
