Save the Date for the Northside Housing Fair March 12th 2016

Northside Housing FairWe are very excited to announce the relaunch of the Northside Housing Fair. The Cleveland Neighborhood Association hosted an annual northside housing fair for a number of years and is proud to bring back that tradition with the 2016 Northside Housing Fair which will take place in March 12th, 2016 here at our partner school Lucy Craft Laney Elementary School. The Northside Housing Fair will be your one-stop shop for all things housing related, whether you’re a renter, a homeowner, or anything in between. We’ll have housing resources from contractors to financing opportunities, housing organizations to renter resources, neighborhood organizations, community groups and everything in between. Visit tons of vendors, participate in mini-workshops, and find answers to your housing related questions all in one place.

We are currently registering vendors (50% table discount Early Bird Special!), recruiting sponsors, and encouraging residents to Save the Date! You can even RSVP on Facebook!

The Cleveland Neighborhood Association has a long track record of hosting top-notch community events such as Live on the Drive and Party in the Park. We are proud to be able to continue that tradition with the Northside Housing Fair. Join us in making this a great event.

We’d like to thank you early partners and sponsors, Lucy Craft Laney Elementary School, Minneapolis Community Education, Wells Fargo Home Mortgage and the Neighborhood And Community Relations Department. Get on board to be part of this great event today!

Come Out To River Connect – September 29th

promo929When was the last time you visited the Mississippi River? What did you do there? Most north Minneapolis residents are less then a mile from this amazing majestic body of water and yet, because of infrastructure and other barriers, we rarely enjoy the great asset and amenities offered by the River. At our fall North First: River Connect event we’ll come together as a community to engage with one another and hear a series of short presentations around this topic of our connection to the River. North First short-form presentations (only 3 minutes each) creates a highly engaging and entertaining evening for residents of all backgrounds. There’s a happy hour before hand (starting at 6pm) complete with a Water Bar, a chance to hear from amazing bartenders about the exquisite offerings available from throughout our region. And there is an Info Exchange, a resource space to learn more about the organizations and presenters from the evening as well as other topics.

We hope you can make it out to this exciting event next Tuesday, September 29th, 6-8:30pm
