GOOD OPPORTUNITIES AHEAD
TOMORROW: Via St. Paul-based Books For Africa, VERBATIM: “Her Excellency Constância Adelina Gaspar, the African Union’s representative to the United States, will be the featured speaker at the annual fundraising breakfast and luncheon hosted by Books For Africa [this] week in Roseville.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/4uABF5q

The annual awards recognize the top female and male high school senior golfers in Minnesota based on performance during the 2026 season.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/3Rg1Jo8
NEXTGEN: Via Insight News, VERBATIM: “They came in as students. They left as financial citizens. That is the compact Build Wealth MN makes with every young person who walks through the doors at 1256 Penn Ave N in North Minneapolis — and this spring, another cohort made good on that promise. Build Wealth MN announced the completion of its Spring Youth Stabilization Program cohort, celebrating the graduation of middle and high school students from a nine-week intensive curriculum anchored in financial literacy, personal development, and career exploration.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/4ttOzkM
OLYMPIAN: Via CCX Media, VERBATIM: “Whether he’s catching air on a flip, speeding downhill, or filming one of his signature ‘Rope Tow Chats’ for social media, Kole Krier is a man at home in the cold . . . Since picking up a board in 2021, Krier’s progression has been meteoric. After only five years on the snow, he is preparing to take his talents to the global stage. Next winter, Krier will represent the United States in the Deaflympics, an international multi-sport event for elite deaf athletes.” WATCH: https://fluence-media.co/4tvdDrJ
VOLUNTEERS: Via WCCO-Radio, VERBATIM: “With spring in full swing ‘Friends of the Mississippi River’ is giving Twin Cities volunteers plenty of opportunities to get hands-on along river this month.

MURALIST: Via Minnesota Monthly, VERBATIM: “Maybe the only thing that surpasses Charles Caldwell’s artistic talent is his generosity. The North Minneapolis artist—who is behind the iconic ‘Welcome to Minneapolis’ mural that has welcomed visitors to West Broadway for more than a decade—takes his role as a community elder seriously. During the holidays, the 63-year-old can often be found around town in his red tracksuit—and combined with his long hair and full beard, the effect is decidedly North Pole.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/4u7FgIB
ECOLAB: Via St. Paul-based Ecolab, VERBATIM: “The world is entering a period of historic growth, complexity and opportunity. As artificial intelligence reshapes industries and demand for energy, food and water accelerates, how companies grow next will matter as much as how fast they grow. In a rapidly changing world, Ecolab remains constant. Today, the company released its 2025 Growth & Impact Report highlighting how Ecolab continues to deliver strong business performance while deepening its impact on customers and communities in the areas that matter most.” NEWS RELEASE: https://fluence-media.co/4dFh4Y0 REPORT: https://fluence-media.co/4noZKty
