Please join us at the Hawthorne Huddle on Thursday, June 5th, for a topic of importance to all.
The collapse of the 35W bridge and the flooding in southeast Minnesota last summer, as well as recent world-wide disasters, remind us that disasters happen and they can happen to us. Emergency preparedness is a topic of current interest and concern.
From individuals and families to businesses and organizations, it is important to be prepared for anything from severe weather to disease outbreaks.
Being prepared not only helps to minimize personal injury and/or property damage; it also helps to assure the continuation of important services provided by businesses and community organizations.
This presentation will focus on individual and family preparedness, preparing for pandemic influenza and continuity of operations planning for businesses and organizations.
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.

Hawthorne Huddle A Success
This month's Hawthorne Huddle went very well with a packed crowd attending to hear the amazing speakers from the Twin Cities media discuss their companies' visions and how they hope to connect with the community.
Among those on hand were Steven Brandt of the Star Tribue, Lisa Peterson De La Cueva for the Twin Cities Daily Planet, Al McFarlane of Insight News, Allan Malkis of the Northside Marketing Task Force and Donald W.R. Allen II of Twin Citiy Business. Representatives from Minnesota Public Radio and KFAI were also on hand, and community organizations from across the Twin Cities and North Minneapolis.
Ellen Luger of the General Mills Foundation once again ably facilitated the discussion and we received a positive safety update from the local representative of Minneapolis Police Department's 4th Precinct.
And in case you missed it, here are some scenes from the April Hawthorne Huddle:
The next huddle is scheduled for June 5th, and the July huddle is set for July 10th. We hope to see you there!
