GREETINGS NEIGHBORS,
It’s time to get over to Dickman Park where summer fun is just getting underway. There is something for everyone - children, adults, and families. Weekday afternoons offer events for kids and on Thursday evenings there will be fam-ily entertainment and “topic talk.” We are introducing topic talk to bring discussions and neighborhood issues right to you since it is not always easy to get to a board meeting. Topic talk will be held in con-junction with Family Nights on Thursday evenings at 7 p.m. If you are unable to visit with us in person, email comments to [email protected]. Topic talk starts on June 22 when we take a look at the Main Street median project. STAWNO has put together a team to landscape the six-block-long median with trees, rain gardens, and special plants. Experts working with the Wa-tershed District on the project will be at topic talk to share ideas and answer questions.
On June 29, Catholic Eldercare joins us at topic talk with news about their new Senior Apartments – 65 units de-signed for independent seniors. The building will be located at 2nd Street NE and Broadway Street NE.
July 13 is the date for the next topic talk when the com-munity comes together to talk about spending strategies for the City’s Neighborhood Revitalization Program (NRP). The current strategies include housing, community outreach and development, livability and safety, and parks, education and environment. Also on this evening, Sarah Super will be joining us. She is the founder of the Rape Survivors’ Memo-rial. The memorial is planned for Boom Island Park.
July 20 brings the Park Board to topic talk with an update on the park planned for the Scherer Brothers site. This site is located just west of Marshall Street and 8th Avenue NE.
Topic talk concludes on July 27 with a discussion of a couple of issues - choices for dealing with the deteriorated bikepath on 3rd Avenue NE and concerns about traffic and parking in our neighborhood. United through one voice we can get it done! In closing, I want to thank the board members and volun-teers who have helped to make the 2017 summer programs possible. A special note of appreciation goes to Pete Gama-des, who created our first multilingual program announce-ment - gracias mi amigo. See you at the Park.

Webster Elementary, your neighborhood school, is grow-ing! We are excited to add 4th grade next year, making our school Pre-K through 4th grade for the 2017-18 school-year. We will be adding a physical education teacher next year so that students can have PE 3x/week along with keeping Spanish at 3x/week as well. Webster will be a busy place this summer with three programs in the building: Summer School, Sports Arts, and Minneapolis Kids. There are excit-ing things going on at Webster, and we hope you will join us for the fun. We are always glad to have volunteers to read with kindergartners, work on projects with older students, or join kids for our family-style dining for lunch.
Email [email protected] to learn more or to get started on volunteering.

Save the date for STAWNO’s annual Historic Riverfront 5k happening Saturday, Oct. 7th. The funds raised at this annual event help support the summer Dickman Park programming. Last year was a record year with +450 par-ticipants, and we look forward to breaking that record this year. Runners, walkers, strollers, and pets are all welcome to partake in one of the most historic and beautiful routes along the Mississippi River. Registration begins in July; check STAWNO.org for updates and sign-up link.
A big part of the job for a neighborhood organization is to build community by helping neighbors connect. Here in Saint Anthony West, we have a great tradition of bringing neighbors together through the summer program in the Park and then the 5k in in the fall. Both of these events connect hundreds of neighbors and help to showcase the community to visitors.
STAWNO is always interested in sharing stories about neighbor-hood heroes, special events, and good deeds. Contact us if you have a story to share.
Northeast Farmers MarketThe place to be on Saturday mornings is the Northeast Farmers Market. Open from 9 am to 1 pm, May through October, the market is located at the corner of University and 7th Street NE. Visit the market for fresh foods, gifts, flowers, or to meet a friend.
August 19 is STAWNO Day at the market. Stop by our table and chat with a neighborhood representative. Corn and Brat Feed also is on August 19th, a yummy time to celebrate community at the market.
More information is available at www.northeastmarket.org.
Alfred J. Hofstede CampusIn honor of his dedicated service and passion for seniors, the Catholic Eldercare campus is to be renamed after the late Al Hofstede. He had deep ties to northeast where he was raised and had a lifetime of public service accomplish-ments including being elected Mayor and co-founder of Catholic Eldercare. Al’s brother and sister in law, Tony and Diane, continue the family tradition of public service as members of STAWNO’s board.
Beat Cop at Dickman ParkAnother new feature is the “beat cop.” This officer is skilled in community relations and will attend all of the Thursday evening events. He is on special assignment from the 2nd Precinct as part of an effort to strengthen the relationship with our neighborhood. Mark your calendar too for the 6 pm picnic on July 13 because the Police Department will visit the Park with their horses and dogs.
