Dear Neighbors,

From now until July 22, workers who were on the frontline of the pandemic can apply for a bonus of up to $750. The funds are not first come, first served and the money set aside for this program will be split equally among all approved applicants. Eligible workers have 45 days to apply. Spread the word to your friends and family who had to put themselves in harm’s way during this challenging time. Apply here.

Minnesotans can visit state parks and recreation areas for free this Saturday, June 11. Check out the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources’ ParkFinder tool. It has information about all 75 state parks and can help you find places with certain kinds of trails or facilities.
