Tracking Running Wolf
By Connie Norman
As the manager of Running Wolf Fitness Center, I must say that I am not sure that Running Wolf Fitness Center will be open after the end of August. Come what may, I”'m reminded about the many generous and positive people we have here volunteering at Running Wolf.
As I thought about it, I realized that there have been many wonderful volunteers who have made Running Wolf a special place for the participants who came here to get healthy! Without these volunteers I believe we wouldn”'t have been here even as long as we have. The strong sense of helping others be healthier and happier is alive and well at Running Wolf

MAD DADS Senior Day Event
MAD DADS and Phillips West Neighborhood Organization is hosting the 12th Annual Senior Citizen Safety Pride Day.
Over the last several years, a growing number of seasoned members of our community seem to lack public information and have expressed valid concerns about barriers to mobility and the increased level of violence in our communities.
These concerns have contributed to their lack of socialization. Because of our love and concern for our seniors, we began the Senior Safety Pride Day where we offer information that is pertinent to them and helpful in ensuring that they are as safe, healthy and informed as possible.
Questions or concerns, please contact at (612) 455-4632.
Sincerely,
VJ Smith
President, MAD DADS of Minneapolis
