Come share Ideas on Planning a National Night Out Block Party

This year, National Night Out (NNO) happens on August 5th. Is your block having a party? Perhaps planning a NNO block party sounds overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be.

At the Neighborhood NNO Barbeque on Wednesday, June 18th you can learn how to plan and register a block party and find out what other blocks have done. Meet Crime Prevention Specialist Karen Notsch. Bring your favorite summer dish to share with others. Everyone is welcome. Call Shonda Allen at 612-722-4817 for more information

The purpose of Kidz Café is to serve dinner to the youth every other Friday from 6:00pm to 7:00pm at Powderhorn Park. Many of our youth are homeless or rarely receive a nourishing meal or contact from a caring adult. The Kidz Café will offer both. Different organizations and community residents will come and volunteer to serve the youth dinner that will already be prepared, interact with the youth and give them information on their organization or programs. This program is sponsored by Powderhorn Park Neighborhood Association and Augsburg Campus Kitchen.
