Subcommittee reviewed moderation and facilitation guides provided by Land of Neighbors. Developed a list of questions for LON that Julie will send.

We are aiming for 50 Date and time: Subcommittee reviewed considerations related to holding the event on 11/11 (Veterans Day). Pros: Promoting community is a good way to acknowledge Veterans’ Day; Elim already holds a Wed. night community dinner so we can align with that. Cons: Holiday for some, and perhaps that could affect attendance? Decision: hold the event on 11/11 and include an acknowledgement of Veteran’s Day. Also reach out to MAC-V specifically to invite residents in their Robbinsdale program Time will be from 5:15-8:15, with dinner from about 5:30-6:15. Location: Elim Lutheran Church–space is available on all three possible dates. There is a standard $150 venue rental fee for evenings. Food: Want to have a taco bar or similar that can allow flexibility for vegetarians, vegans, gluten free, and other dietary needs.Would like food to include healthy, nutritious options, not snacky foods. Also something that reflects cultural groups of immigrant communities who have been disparately impacted by Operation Metro Surge. Would like to feature Robbinsdale or nearby busin …
