A BUSY WEEK FOR GOOD
THURSDAY: Via Eden Prairie Local News, VERBATIM: “On Thursday, March 5, 2026, at 6:30PM, author Kristin Holsworth will present the story of her grandfather, Buzz Kaplan, well known adventurer, world traveler, pilot, businessman, and proud representative of Owatonna and Minnesota.

FRIDAY: Via Minnesota Monthly, VERBATIM: “Fans who can’t make it to Minneapolis on March 6 will still be able to take part in Dropkick Murphys’ free benefit concert honoring Alex Pretti. The Boston-based Celtic punk band announced earlier this week that it will perform a free acoustic set in the parking lot of the Black Forest Inn, across the street from the Alex Pretti memorial, ahead of its sold-out show that evening at the Palace Theatre in St. Paul. Now, organizers have confirmed the event will also stream live online.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/4l998Rh
ROBBINSDALE: Via CCX Media, VERBATIM: “Hackenmueller’s Meat Market in downtown Robbinsdale is giving back to the community that keeps it going. So far, community donations have raised more than $3,400 to buy groceries for those in need. The system is simple — cashiers ask customers if they’d like to add $5, $10 or $20 to their purchase. If customers choose to donate, that money goes to an organization that shops for those who need it.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/4rSkUlq
LANGUAGE: Via MPR, VERBATIM: “The effort to preserve Indigenous languages in Minnesota got a big boost in recent days, as more than 100 people came together in Morton in an effort to celebrate and revive Dakota and Ojibwe languages. The fifth annual Dakota and Ojibwe Language Symposium was held at the Lower Sioux Indian Community in Morton, bringing together educators and community members Feb. 25-27. They worked on and discussed efforts to preserve the Dakota and Ojibwe languages.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/4aYEe9l
MISS DEBBIE: Via Minnesota Spokesman Recorder, VERBATIM: “In a time where we’re grappling with issues of political polarization and police brutality, Miss Debbie Montgomery provides an example worth living by. Miss Debbie is one of the most respected people in the Rondo community of St. Paul, MN. She’s led an incredibly diverse career over the past 50 years. She has served as a police officer, city planner, youth detention lieutenant, Minnesota Assistant Commissioner of Public Safety, and teacher. Not only this, but she was also the first Black woman police sergeant in St. Paul. In addition, she was the first Black woman ever to serve on the St. Paul City Council. It should come as no surprise that Miss Debbie has left a legacy that her community will never forget.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/4u65Sdb
PICKLEBALL: Via WCCO-TV, VERBATIM: “The rotunda at the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota, has hosted nearly every type of event over the years, but celebrated a first-of-its-kind event on Saturday. For nearly 12 hours, competitive pickleball matches filled the rotunda — all to benefit Every Meal, a nonprofit working to fight child hunger by providing Weekend Food Bags to children in need.” WATCH: https://fluence-media.co/4l3LlSx
FISHING: Via Sun Current, an Edina Police citizens award presented to Chris Hansen whose recovery from a traumatic brain injury inspired a community resource. VERBATIM: “Being on the water gave Hansen space away from his day-to-say stressors and let him clear his head, helping him heal physically and mentally. Inspired by his healing journey and desire to give back to the first responders who supported him, Hansen founded the nonprofit Time on the Water in 2015. The organization provides therapeutic healing through fishing trips for veterans and first responders, including officers from the Edina Police Department.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/4aMw1X9
NEXT WEEK: Via Eden Prairie Local News, VERBATIM: “The Kouba Gallery’s March exhibition proudly celebrates Youth Art Month while exploring the powerful bond between art and the natural world. Inspired by this year’s Youth Art Month theme, “The World Needs Art,” young artists from across Minnesota were invited to reflect on how creativity sustains, inspires, and connects us.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/4cX7S1i
THEATER: Via Ordway, VERBATIM: “The Ordway Center for the Performing Arts today announced the full lineup for its 2026-2027 Broadway at the Ordway musical series. Oh, Mary! brings standout excitement to the dazzling six-show series, joined by Broadway favorites and fresh, feel-good hits including Mystic Pizza, The Music Man, Legally Blonde and Waitress, which round out the season alongside the already announced first hit, Dirty Dancing: The Musical.”
NONPROFIT HELP: Via UofM, VERBATIM: “When University of Minnesota alums David and Cindy Bearman decided to make their nonprofit Cleaning Up for Cancer a full-time endeavor, they had plenty of heart, but they needed some help on the business side . . . To get there, Cindy (the nonprofit’s president) and David (vice president and treasurer) needed strategic thinking they didn’t have the capacity to handle on their own. David reached out to his alma mater Minnesota Carlson, looking for student volunteers. Then he discovered the Impact Lab, a required two-course sequence where undergrad business students learn problem-solving methodologies, then apply them to real clients facing real challenges.” READ: https://fluence-media.co/4aLztBh
