Mill City Commons provides the services and expertise you need to live comfortably and safely in your home and in this neighborhood. Membership provides access to a range of professional and volunteer services and educational programs and social events.

Basic member services:

• Member-Focused Interest Groups that are developed from membership requests and are tailored to meet members’ interests and desires (from theater and museum groups to crafts and exercise)
• Preferred Vendors List that offers members “one stop shopping” for a variety of needs – from a plumber for the leaky faucet and a techie to set up wireless internet connection to dog walkers and caterers
• Social, cultural and educational programs, both no-cost and nominally fee-based, these regularly scheduled programs run the gamut of opportunities offered throughout the Twin Cities (from cocktails before the theater and continuing education at the University to docent-led museum tours and picnics in the park)
• Volunteer opportunities that serve both members (our Members-Helping-Members program and the greater community)
• In-home telephone calls for those who appreciate a daily check-in 
• Facilitated access to our preferred home healthcare provider, AgeWell Home Care
• Members-Helping-Members Program, where members volunteer to help members with a variety of needs – daily, weekly or monthly
• Common Dining Tables & Member Happy Hours with members gathering at neighborhood restaurants or bars – Dutch treat!
• Annual Members-Only Celebration that serves as both an “annual meeting” for the Board to celebrate achievements and preview opportunities and for members to enjoy an evening of delicious food, beverages and conversation
• Courteous, friendly staff ready to help you take advantage of everything we have to offer – from how to manage your online profile and search for your favorite activities to finding a handyman and developing a new interest group
• Members-only website that serves as your member-to-member connection, provides an up-to-date, detailed calendar of events with online sign-up and so much more
   

Fee-based services:

Mill City Commons has created and regularly updates a list of preferred vendors for members who request a commercial or professional provider – such as carpentry, electrical, personal home-care assistance and domestic cleaning services. In addition, a variety of social and educational events may require the cost of tickets, tuition, speaker fees, dining, etc.

If you do not see what you’re looking for, remember: we’re a member-driven organization. Your request is our command! Let us know what you need and our staff will locate the service for you.
