Thank you to all who came out, despite the bad weather, to the Sea Salt Eatery on Wednesday to celebrate everything Longfellow. We had a hardy group of neighbors in attendance, gave away many raffle prizes that were donated by local businesses, and had a great time!

Pictures to come soon!

 

The Fourth Annual Community Warming is the Sea Salt Eatery in Minnehaha Regional Park. This party is a chance to mingle with your neighbors in a iconic setting in the Greater Longfellow Neighborhood.

We are celebrating everything great about Longfellow—and rightly so, as we are the Best Neighborhood in Minneapolis (thanks CityPages!)

There will be a raffle with prizes donated by local businesses, including Junket, Parkway Pizza, Mother Earth Gardens, and more! Bring the whole family to this outdoor event!

The Sea Salt Eatery is located at 4825 Minnehaha Ave. Event is from 5:30-8pm. Stop by and join in celebrating the neighborhood! Contact Jessica with any questions: jessica@longfellow.org

 

The Annual Longfellow Corn Feed at Longfellow Park will be on August 8th, 2013 from 5:30-8pm. Last year over 1,000 people attended and consumed a whopping 1,500 ears of corn. We would love to beat those numbers this year, so tell your friends and family about the corn feed!

 

Hey folks!

Dave Zumeta will be hosting a bird hike May 21th at 7pm! They will be meeting at the parking area at 36th St & W River Pkwy.

Dave has been tracking birds in the Greater Longfellow for many many years. Just with the chirps of a bird, he can identify the specie of the bird (and locate its nest!).

This is an open event to everyone and IT’S FREE!

More questions can be directed to yer@longfellow.org

We hope to see you tomorrow night at 7!

 

Registration for the First Annual Longfellow Community Garage Sale Day! This is a great day to get your yard or garage sale on the map and go buy your neighbor’s cool stuff. Registration is $5, which gets you advertisement for your sale.

Register here today! Deadline is May 23rd.

 

Minnehaha Creek Watershed District is recruiting for the Master Water Stewards program for this spring. This is an amazing opportunity to have a community leader get high level education on water resources to support the CARE Project. It is being piloted for the next three years in the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District, so applicants must live within the District: http://www.minnehahacreek.org/permits/am-i-district

The new Master Water Stewards program will certify and support community leaders to install pollution prevention projects that educate community members, reduce pollutants from urban runoff, and allow more water to soak into the ground before running into storm sewer systems. Modeled after successful Master Gardener programs, volunteer community leaders will participate in a 50-hour program of courses and projects. In this first year of the program, participation is limited to 25 residents of the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. 2013 training will be offered at no cost to participants. Learn more about the program:http://freshwater.org/master-water-stewards-a-community-approach-to-protecting-water/

Find the application attached. Applications are due by March 15, 2013. Classes begin in April.

Join the Longfellow Community Council Board of Directors

LCC’s next election will be held on Tuesday, April 23rd at LCC’s No Pie Charts Only Pies General Membership meeting
6:30 – 8:00 p.m.
Minnehaha Academy North – 3100 West River Road

WHO ARE THE DIRECTORS OF THE LCC BOARD
The LCC Board of Directors is made up of people who live or work in the Longfellow Community neighborhoods (Howe, Cooper, Hiawatha and Longfellow)

The LCC board has 15 seats for voting members:
2 seats to represent each Greater Longfellow Neighborhood (Howe, Cooper, Hiawatha and Longfellow) – 2-year terms
1 seat for a business representative – 1-year term
3 seats for community representatives – 1-year term
3 at-large seats – 3-year terms that are staggered

Open seats are elected during LCC’s General Membership meeting in April. Vacancies may be filled by the board or elected at a General Membership meeting to serve until the next annual meeting.

WHAT DOES THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS DO?
The responsibilities of board members fall into two areas: governance and support. Both are equally important to the vitality and effectiveness of the Longfellow Community Council. Primary responsibilities for each are:

GOVERNANCE:
Attend and actively participate at monthly board meetings
Review and approve annual budget and policy documents
Ensure legal and financial compliance with contracts and audits
Select and evaluate the Executive Director
Think big picture to work towards organization’s mission and goals

SUPPORT:
Act as ambassadors to the Longfellow Community and LCC
Support the Executive Director and staff in planning and implementing programs, events and activities
Participate in an LCC committee working on areas of interest to you
Assist with fundraising efforts

Board membership requires a commitment of approximately 6-8 hours per month of your time

RUN FOR AN OPEN SEAT:
Contact Melanie at the LCC Office at 612-722-4529 ext. 4 or via email at melanie@longfellow.org for more information.

 

It’s less than two months away, and we are gearing up for the annual No Pie Charts Only Pies meeting on April 23rd! Put it on your calendars, because this is not one to miss.

We have already confirmed several groups for the Resource Fair, including Free Geek, Longfellow Faith Forum, Open Door Learning Center, Volunteers of America, and more!
