We have an update to share with all of you. Over the next few months, the Pollen board and staff are preparing to sunset Pollen and intentionally phase out its programming. pollenmidwest.org/stories/sunset

Be prepared for misty eyes with this news. Thank you to Pollen for the goodness you provided in our community in numerous creative ways.

I never thought that little email newsletter we all started together back in 2008 would grow like it did, but those roots of caring connectivity we planted went deep!

TY Pollen staff, members, funders, donors, partners, board members, volunteers and friends for an amazing run!!

Thanks to everyone who joined us for Rise and Hive last month! Join us for the next one on March 7th at The Briar. riseandhiveMar24.eventbrite.com #RiseAndHive

For months, the remaining team at Pollen has been imagining a more healing and restorative response beyond the examples we experience or expect. Before we move forward by sharing more programming and stories, please take a moment to read Ruby’s last word.

Shout out to this stunning, thoughtful pivot from Pollen . I didn't make any #GTMD23 appeals today, until now. While there's still time consider the new options they are offering + a gift towards their Give to the Max day goal.

Cathy Corkill McLeer AARP Minnesota Pollen When you ask me to host your event, I'm gonna be first to get there and last to leave. Just ask my friends at AARP Minnesota. I wrapped up emceeing their Dollars & Decades dinner discussion about an hour ago and I'm still laughing with guests, meeting new friends and taking selfies...
