Hi Registered Charter Education Forum Participant!

Today is the day! We are so excited to see you either at Mayflower Church (106 E Diamond Lake Road, Minneapolis, MN 55419) or streaming live via this link from 10am-11:30am for the Charter Education Forum! If attending in person, we are requiring proof of vaccination and masks. If you cannot meet that requirement, please watch the live stream.

Can no longer make the event or want to watch and share the forum again after the event for viewing on your own time? After the event, a recording of the forum will be posted here.

Important: We will be checking for proof of vaccination at the event so if you are planning on attending in person, please bring either 1) your vaccination card, 2) an electronic copy of your vaccination card either by downloading the “Docket” application from the Minnesota Department of Health here or by logging into your MyChart or other health portal to view and show your immunization and health records information, 3) a photo of your vaccination card, 4) log into the webpage for the clinic site or pharmacy where you received the vaccine such as at Walgreen’s online portal, the vaccine documentation is under Prescription Records (take a screenshot and store the photo in your Photo Favorites).

In person attendees are invited to stay after the presentation for a meet and greet with the organizations outdoors (weather permitting). This is your chance to ask additional questions to the organizations. The meet in greet will run until 12:30pm.

We look forward to seeing you there or online and hearing community members on both sides of each amendment present their case. Learn more about the organizations being represented and check out our overview handout here.

Thanks again and we will see you soon!

Help the League of Women Voters Send Voting Reminder Postcards

Action: Help send 2400 informational postcards to registered voters in Ward 5’s zip code 55411. We are focusing on this area because of lower-than-average voter turnout.

You can help by addressing postcards, adding a short personal note, stamping and mailing. We will provide a mailing list and the postcards. If you would like a stack of postcards (minimum 25) and addresses, sign up via Sign Up Genius: Click here for Postcards. The postcards should be mailed to voters by October 26. If you are interested in this activity, but don’t wish to donate the stamps ($10 for 25 postcard stamps), please let us know. Email Judy Zaunbrecher at  with questions.  Judy will email you with additional instructions once you sign up.

Community Redevelopment Meeting regarding Housing Proposal at 3536 Nicollet

By

On Zoom: For the meeting code please email and put ‘3536 Nicollet Meeting’ in the subject line.

Kingfield & Lyndale Neighborhood Associations are hosting a community meeting regarding  a new 196 unit housing development project being planned for 3536 Nicollet Avenue in the Lyndale Neighborhood. The Kingfield Neighborhood Association (KFNA) Redevelopment Committee and Lyndale Neighborhood Association (LNA) Housing Committee had the opportunity to review the developer’s proposal in mid-September. The committees are now hosting a special committee meeting via Zoom to allow interested neighbors to learn about the project and ask questions of the developers, Sean Sweeney and Jeff Hall of Hall Sweeney Properties. Neighbors and property owners within a block of the project have been notified by direct invitation.

Although it would be our preference to hold this meeting in person, due to COVID safety procedures and a lack of meeting spaces open that will allow for social distancing at this time, this virtual meeting will need to suffice. Please submit any project questions you have BEFORE the meeting so we can ask them, and the project architect, to cover these in the presentation. For questions, please email and put ‘3536 Nicollet Meeting’ in the subject line. [Read more…]
