Join us as we hear from two organizations that are working to reduce waste in our landfills and waterways.

Nancy Lo works on waste prevention, reuse and recycling for Hennepin County‘s Department of Environment and Energy through Hennepin County‘s Fix-It Clinic and Fix-It Hub. At the Fix-It Clinic and Fix-It Hub, you can learn to fix your broken stuff for free! Work together with friendly, knowledgeable volunteers on your broken household items, clothing, small appliances and much more. Fix-It Clinics teach valuable troubleshooting and basic repair skills, build community connections and reduce the number of repairable items that are thrown in the trash. https://www.hennepin.us/fixitclinic.

Henry LaBounta heads up the East Isles Adopt-a-Drain program. He will share his journey from picking up trash in his neighborhood with his dog to engaging a neighborhood team of volunteers over the past three years. With the support of grants he was awarded and local media coverage he has expanded to creating Green Guardians MN and is now working with nine neighborhoods around the Chain of Lakes focused on water quality. His neighborhood has adopted 73% of their storm drains, the highest in the nation. 929 volunteers have picked up over 13,700 gallons of trash in 85 cleanup events. The volunteers report enjoying getting outside, meeting each other and making a difference for their community!

Join us for a conversation with Lisa Goodman, former longtime Minneapolis City Council member. In her new position, Director of Strategic Initiatives for the Office of Public Service, she is implementing economic development and recovery strategies. She is also responsible for building partnerships to help revitalize key areas such as downtown and cultural districts.

As former chair of economic development committees, Mayor Jacob Frey said Goodman is an excellent choice for the position. “There are few people who have the pedigree she does in building public-private partnerships to get big things done. While having a reputation for throwing sharp elbows and fiercely advocating for her position, she brings people together to get things done."

Lisa‘s fingerprints are all over “Dinner du Nord - America’s Longest Dinner Table,” a party on September 11 on the Nicollet Mall in support of 40 restaurants downtown. Join us as we hear from Lisa about the party to which you’re all invited.

The wacipi (pronounced wah-CHEE-pee), or powwow, is a traditional Native American celebration of life. It is a time when people gather together to dance, sing, drum, and celebrate, while renewing friendships, old and new. Meaning “they dance” in the Dakota language, the wacipi has transcended generations and has taken on new forms and meanings over the years. Historically, it was a time to gather at the end of a season, to celebrate a good hunt, or to recognize a positive event.

The Grand Entry at 1:00 pm sets the stage for the day’s contests and activities, which includes a ceremonious entrance into the dance arena, led by a Native American veteran color guard, visiting dignitaries, and tribal royalty, followed by hundreds of dancers of all ages. Representatives from dozens of tribes from across the United States and Canada will participate. A vendor area offers Native American arts and crafts, beadwork, jewelry and traditional foods.

Join us as we travel to Shakopee for this engaging experience. We will carpool and leave from the parking lot of the American Red Cross at 11:30 am. Handouts for the protocol for visitors will be handed out. There is ample parking with golf carts to take people from the parking area to the wacipi.

For those unable to attend the event on Saturday, it will be livestreamed on smscwacipi.org. The wacipi will run from Friday evening through Sunday.

Please answer the question on whether you would like to carpool and if you would be willing to drive. We anticipate staying for up to 2.5 hours but individual carpools will be able to determine the exact length of stay.
