East Side 50 Favorites Second Video

Last Thursday at the District 67 Town Hall Meeting, Senator Foung Hawj announced that 60% of the bonding projects in St. Paul city limits are on the East Side. It's our year to push funding for East Side projects!
 Here's a great project you can come out and support. The state legislature will soon consider
Lower Phalen Creek Project's request for $3 million in bonding funds for the future Wakan Tipi Center at Bruce Vento Nature Sanctuary. Lower Phalen Creek is
organizing an event at the Capitol to get residents to meet with their legislators and share the importance of the future Wakan Tipi Center. It's critical that we support our fellow East Siders to secure funding for what will be an amazing new asset to our community!
Lower Phalen Creek is looking for 125+ people to show up from
8 AM to noon next Wednesday, March 14th at the Capitol building. If you can't make it in person, email your legislator
here.
The Wakan Tipi Center will be a community gathering place to interpret and educate about the cultural and natural history of the area. Primarily, it will focus on the Dakota history of this sacred site but will also include stories and perspectives from our diverse history on the East Side.
To volunteer at or attend the March 14 event, or email your legislator in support of Wakan Tipi, click here!
