Hawthorne Neighborhood Seeks Logo, Image Update

June 09, 2008

The Hawthorne Neighborhood Council’s Business Committee released a recent call for artists to help improve their logo for their major 2008-2010 marketing campaign to raise awareness of the Hawthorne neighborhood of North Minneapolis, a neighborhood of 6,000 diverse residents.

Working from an initial earlier design for a logo, artists will have the opportunity to make suggestions or completely redesign the logo for use on Hawthorne neighborhood websites, brochures, posters, correspondence and promotional items during the course of the ambitious marketing campaign.

The Hawthorne Neighborhood Council and its staff and residents have been covered by USA Today, the Star Tribune, Washington Post, Minnesota Public Radio and other media outlets, and hope local and national artists will consider assisting them in this project.

There is no monetary compensation for this project, however they encourage artists to submit proposals given the high visibility of the project, professional networking opportunities and addition to the artists’ professional portfolios.

Interested artists should contact Bryan Thao Worra at bworra@hawthornecommunity.org or call (612) 529-6033 and they will send the necessary files to get started on a proposal.The project deadline is June 26th.

Minnesota's budget deficit

With almost every news outlet and politician in the state commenting on Minnesota’s budget deficit, what’s left to say? The numbers are bad: a $426 million deficit for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009, plus a projected $4.8 billion deficit for the 2010-2011 biennium add up to $5.273 billion dollar total. State economist Tom Stinson said this could be the worst recession since World War II. (Excuse me, wouldn’t that make it the worst since the Great Depression?) He said today’s budget forecast was not a worst-case scenario, and that the situation “could be noticeably worse between now and the end of the biennium.” The next budget forecast will come in February.

Last year 400 runners registered, but a blizzard kept actual participation to about 200. This year, says Pam Cunningham of Legal Aid, 250 were registered on-line by 8 a.m. Friday morning, and “we’re hoping for 300” by race time. MORE »

Holiday gifting

It’s official. The US economy is in recession. Over the past twelve months, thousands of Americans have lost their homes, and even more men and women have lost their jobs. With such a grim outlook, it is evident that many Americans will not have “happy holidays”; and many families on low wages will have to work harder during the holidays to bring something home for the holidays. Community organizations in the Twin Cities can be channeled to reach many of these people in need. MORE »
