Hawthorne Huddle Agenda for February 7!

Please join us at the Hawthorne Huddle on Thursday, February 7, when we will hear from local organizations about programs and services they provide to families and children in the North Minneapolis community. Representatives from the YWCA, YMCA, the Center for Families and its partners, and the African-American Child Wellness Institute will highlight not only their current programs but also future programs being planned for the Minneapolis community.

The Hawthorne Huddle will be held from 7:30 to 8:45 a.m. in the Multipurpose Room at Farview Park, located at 621 29th Avenue North. A continental breakfast will be available at 7:15 a.m. We hope you can attend and participate in the discussion.
