National Night Out at Afton View 7/29

Because Ramadan started at the beginning of August, the residents at Afton View and Shamrock Court celebrated National Night Out on Friday, July 29. District 1 Community Council was lucky enough to be invited and we were joined by farmer, Susane Moua, Minnesota Project staffer, Theresa Heiland, and Minnesota Extension staffers, Ross Stafford and Joyce McGee-Brown.

Ross demonstrated how to make use of Susane's fresh produce with a cooking demonstration, and Joyce provided attendees with nutritional advice and information.

 In addition, residents were visited by the Police and Fire Department, entertained by a local magician, and fed in community style by staffers at the apartments.

As you can see from this photo, we were there with info on recycling, and giving away apartment-style recycling containers - washable bags with compartments for paper and glass/cans. If you live in an apartment that recycles, contact us for a recycling bag like this!!

A good time was had by all!! Thanks for the invite, Afton View/Shamrock Court, and thanks to our partners, Susane, Theresa, Ross and Joyce!!
