AF MG holds first quarterly Community Connectors meeting - Feb. 14, 2025
Age-Friendly Maple Grove held its first full meeting of 2025 on Friday, February 14, 9:00-10:30am.
The Community Connectors were previously known as the Leadership Team, but recently changed its name to better reflect the nature of the group, which is to network, share information across sectors and community members, and facilitate connections to other people and information. The name is also intended to communicate that residents can attend or join without needing a specific background or skill set.
Meetings are virtual and all residents and stakeholders are welcome to attend. Please contact Liz Faust at efaust@maplegrovemn.gov for log-in details. The next meeting is scheduled for Friday, May 9, 2025, 9:00-10:30am.
