A GOOD END TO THE WEEK
LEMONADE: From Crystal PD via Facebook, VERBATIM: “Chief Hubbard was driving through the city and saw a sign pointing towards a lemonade stand.

WALK: Via Lakeland PBS, VERBATIM: “Originally started in 2001, the Walk A Mile In Her Shoes event is a community-driven walk focused on raising awareness about sexual violence. Executive Director of Sexual Assault Services Heidi Fairchild said, ‘The walk, a mile in her shoes way back, used to be a men’s march to support women who have been sexually assaulted. And now it’s for everybody because obviously a majority of women or females are sexually assaulted, but so are men. So it’s coming out to support the survivors.’” WATCH: https://fluence-media.co/4xPkXkt
SCHOLARSHIP: Via KARE-TV, VERBATIM: “Six months after Alex Pretti was shot and killed by federal agents, the memorial honoring him remains vibrant, filled with messages, flowers and reminders of the impact he had on his community.

FASHION: Via MplsStPaul, VERBATIM: “While many eco-conscious brands lean heavily into minimalist neutrals and earth tones, Minneapolis fashion designer Danielle Everine has built her namesake label around bold prints, painterly textiles, and color-rich collections that feel more like wearable art than crunchy basics. ‘The garments are really about print,’ says Everine . . . For Everine, sustainability isn’t just a marketing angle—it’s foundational to how she approaches design.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/45G2uLj
POET: Via MPR, VERBATIM: “Ana Fores Tamayo is the executive director of the Refugee Support Network, a nonprofit staffed by volunteers who help refugees apply for asylum in the United States.

FISHING: Via WJFW-TV in Wausau, VERBATIM: “The nonprofit organization Let’s Go Fishing serves elderly, veterans and people with disabilities by giving them a chance to get out on a lake and fish or just enjoy the boat for free.
