The District 1 Community Council and the Conway Community Task Force invites you to join us at the Conway Rec Center (2090 Conway St) on Monday, July 22 from 6-7:30p to meet the community-recommended partner for the Conway Center. The Task Force is pleased to introduce to you the staff of the Sanneh Foundation for a meet and greet beginning at 6p, followed by short presentations and a community discussion from 6:30-7:30p.
The Sanneh Foundation will be working in partnership with the community (including the existing Senior program and other sports), and with Saint Paul Parks and Recreation to dramatically extend hours and create a lively, inclusive, and all-age center for the neighborhood. To do this, we need you to be informed and involved.
Come hear how we got to this point and let's talk about where we can go from here. Possibilities abound!!
The Task Force was unanimous in recommending Sanneh Foundation to be the partner after listening to what they have done in the past, plan to do in the future, and about their willingness to reach out as true partners with ALL members of the community.
This will be a partnership like no other in the city. The Parks department will stay involved for an extended period, and members of the Booster Club are reaching out to the Foundation; we have possibilities with the library, the University of Minnesota, and with the community at large.
It was a long road to get us to this point, and bumpier than it needed to be. But the Task Force feels that the result is one that shows incredible promise for us all.
So please join us on July 22 at 6p to meet the Sanneh Foundation staff.
