Tuesday's Holiday Gathering is canceled.

Dear MHC Ambassadors, because we're concerned about your mental well-being as well as your physical safety, we have made the difficult decision to cancel tomorrow evening’s MHC Collaborative-Wide Holiday Celebration (December 9 from 7 – 8:30 pm at Bethlehem Lutheran Church).

There are winter weather advisories being issued for most of the counties around the Twin Cities that include 2-4 inches of snow from early afternoon to early evening and winds gusts up to 31 miles/hour. We thought it best to err on the side of caution and look to reschedule a social gathering for another time when weather conditions are more conducive to travel.

As for those of you who had planned on bringing items for the NAMI-Minnesota Holiday Gift Drive, you can drop them off with Heidi Simpson Tjeltveit at Bethlehem Lutheran Church, 4100 Lyndale Boulevard, Minneapolis, between 9:00-11:30 am on Saturday, December 13. Please come in the door from the parking lot, take an immediate left around the corner and go to a small alcove near the Welcome Desk and drop them off with her. She’ll see that they are given to Kay King from NAMI-Minnesota.

If you are unable to drop off the gifts on December 13, please contact either Heidi Peterson (hpeterson@bethlehem-church.org) or Heidi Simpson Tjeltveit (hstjeltveit@yahoo.com) ASAP to make other arrangements. All donations are due by December 15 so that NAMI-Minnesota can get them prepared to be distributed. Thank you!

Stay safe, stay warm, and enjoy your “gift of time” tomorrow evening, everyone!
