[Minnesota Rising Dispatch] October 2019


[#mnrising Dispatch] October 2019

As we recognized Indigenous People's Day earlier this month and El Día de los Muertos and Election Day 2019 approach, it’s a time to honor the past as well as to prepare for our future. In the same manner, we are excited to be celebrating 10 years of Minnesota Rising this year and invite you to join us to toast to another decade of building the network for what's next.

Register for the "Minnesota Rising 10 Year Anniversary Celebration" at Soberfish on Monday, November 18 from 6:00pm - 8:00pm and come through for an opportunity to reconnect, celebrate, and continue thinking about our individual and collective futures in Minnesota. Light appetizers will be provided along with some lightly facilitated opportunities for connecting. We look forward to seeing you there to cheers to 10 more years!
