August 2026 In Person Making Connections

Join MNEA's series called "Making Connections," a low-key event prioritizing connection and community-building for our members. This series will have in-person and virtual opportunities. We also plan to rotate locations and times every month to make this event more accessible for folks who cannot make certain events due to time or transportation constraints.

The August 28 meeting will be at Gingko Coffee House in St. Paul.

The in-person event will be hosted by the MNEA presidents. When you get to the location, look for a table with a piece of paper with "MNEA" written on it. If the weather is nice, we will meet on the back patio. 

There is street parking, a parking lot behind the coffee shop, and a small bike rack on Minnehaha Avenue. The coffee shop is on the A Line. 

We look forward to connecting with you all!

Making Connections is going statewide in 2026! If you’d like to cohost an event in your community, contact us at info@mneval.org.

WELLNESS INFO: If we meet indoors, please bring masks (we will try to have some on hand). There is no expectation of wearing your mask indoors, but please have one on hand if it is requested by a fellow member. And, of course, do not attend if you are feeling unwell.

If you need any accommodations to participate, please let us know at least one week prior to the event. Thank you.
