HAWTHORNE HUDDLE, Thursday June 4th
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!

Watch where you park: street sweepers are coming to a block near you!
With the winter snow piles retreating, it's time for the City to clean up all the dirt and grime the melting snow and ice left behind on Minneapolis streets. Crews are set to begin the comprehensive spring street sweep in mid-April.
Over the course of five weeks, Minneapolis Public Works will send sweepers down all 1,100 miles of city streets. Weather permitting, the spring street sweeping will begin on Tuesday, April 15.
To make sure the sweepers can do the best job possible, temporary "No Parking" signs will be posted at least 24 hours in advance to make sure streets are clear of parked vehicles. Residents need to follow street sweep parking rules or they may have their cars ticketed and towed.
"No Parking" signs – As the sweep gets underway, City crews will post "No Parking" signs at least 24 hours before sweeping any streets. Parking will be banned from 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on the day a street is swept. The "No Parking" signs will be removed as soon as possible after a street has been completely swept to allow people to resume parking. Vehicles not in compliance with "No Parking" signs will be ticketed and towed to the Minneapolis Impound Lot.
Phone calls to residents – In addition to the "No Parking" signs that will be posted the day before sweepers come through, the City will make about 3,500 automated phone calls each evening to let residents know their street will be swept the next day.
Interactive Web tool – Starting a few days before the sweep begins, folks will be able to use a tool on the City's Web site to find out when the sweepers are coming through their neighborhoods.
By going to www.ci.minneapolis.mn.us/streetsweep, residents can find out which week their street is scheduled to be swept. The weekend before that week, they can revisit the city to find out which of the five days of the work week that the sweeping will occur.
Minneapolis is known for its sparking lakes and waterways, and we want to keep it that way.
That's why protecting and enhancing our environment is one of the City's top priorities.
Street sweeping is one way we work to protect our environment because it keeps leaves and debris from clogging our storm drains and polluting our lakes and rivers. It also helps keep our neighborhoods clean and livable.
