A Twin Cities watershed organization has a quarter million dollars of grant money to divvy up over the next few months, and they’re hoping groups that have traditionally not applied for funding will show up for an information meeting on Monday, September 8.
“Look at the demographics of our watershed,” explains Jenny Winkelman, Education & Outreach Coordinator for the Mississippi Watershed Management Organization (MWMO), which covers portions of the cities of Minneapolis, St. Paul, Lauderdale, and St. Anthony. “We have a huge audience we’re trying to reach, many of them fairly recent immigrant communities, such as the Hmong and Somali communities. Most traditional watershed materials are produced for a literate, English-speaking audience and may miss important populations.” MORE »

Home Improvement & Design EXPO worth the wait
For homeowners, builders and contractors alike, these shows present a great opportunity to get out and see what’s going on in home improvement and design.
I remember going to a show and seeing stenciled & colored concrete for the first time – I was amazed at how they were able to manipulate it so easily.
If you have Sept. 27th available, I strongly recommend going out and attending this event. If for nothing else, it’s an excuse to get out of the house.
