As was discussed in our August Newsletter, how to make Northfield a more welcoming community has been an important and ongoing discussion over the last several months.
On December 14, 2010, the Northfield City Council approved a contract to work with Growing Up Healthy to create the LINK Center, a center located at the Human Services entrance of the Northfield Community Resource Center (NCRC) which will serve to welcome all community members, new and established, by linking people with resources and opportunities they might need throughout Northfield.
Work on the development of the LINK Center has already begun, and now we are looking for people who can staff the LINK Center Desk during the week!
