Mr. Tim Penny will provide an overview of the three stadium proposals (Vikings, Twins, and Gophers) currently before the legislature.

RNeighbors, Rochester's Neighborhood Resource Center, is thinking grassroots these days, both figuratively and literally.

We're getting back to our roots as a resource center for neighborhoods and neighborhood associations by focusing on three on-going program areas: neighborhood communication, neighborhood improvement and neighborhood organization.

Right now, we're helping several new neighborhoods get organized at the grassroots level.

We've been busy dramatically expanding, updating and fine-tuning our neighborhood organization "toolkit", a packet of resource materials that will offer neighbors step-by-step suggestions on how to form and maintain a thriving neighborhood association.
