DONNA NICHOLSON SVENDSEN Associate Director General Mills Community Action March 27, 2015 HAWTHORNE HUDDLE THURSDAY, APRIL 2, 2015 Friends of the Hawthorne Huddle, Join us at the April 2 Huddle for a first-hand look at new findings from the Cradle K Cabinet, the Mayor’s initiative focused on the health and well-being of babies and children up to age 3. We’ll hear about the Cabinet’s work with the community and their recommendations to help children and their families get a healthy start, live in stable housing and access high-quality child development and early learning programs. We will be joined by Cabinet Co-Chairs Carolyn Smallwood of Way to Grow and Peggy Flanagan of the Children’s Defense Fund. The Mayor and the Cabinet are still accepting community input, so we ask you to come with your feedback on the preliminary goals recommended by the Cabinet. In preparation, here’s a link to the draft report from the Mayor’s Website: http://www.ci.minneapolis.mn.us/mayor/cradle/WCMS1P-136627 The Hawthorne Huddle will be held from 7:30 to 8:45 a.m. in the Multipurpose Room at Farview Park, 621 29th Avenue North.
