At our recent grants making ceremony, we had the pleasure of welcoming back our recently departed board member Donna Rae Scheffert a management leadership consultant and well known leader in community leadership development holding multiple positions in this sector.

Donna Rae also writes for the Washington Times on communities and creative solutions to common problems. Her recent contribution includes the Northfield Area Foundation’s recent grants and a very interesting set of facts and points that puts our local work into a community-of-communities perspective.

Second annual Cafe Forum

I got this email from Bill Bleckwehl, Chair of the NAF Board.

On Wednesday, June 20, the Northfield Area Foundation (NAF) Board of Advisors hosted its second annual Cafe Forum at Park Ridge Apartments at the Three Links campus. A cross section of Northfield residents were invited to discuss what makes Northfield special and what would make the community better. The event was facilitated by Julie Dappen from MAP for Non Profits.

These photos were taken by NAF Board member Ray Cox who blogged the event. Click thumbnails to enlarge.
