We need a grant like this for Richfield, MN. .. #Repost @cityofskate ・・・ ⠀ 🚨CALL TO ACTION - Full Info w/ Links in BIO⠀ ⠀ This Wednesday 10/2 the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board will consider projects to request for the 2020 Hennepin County Youth Sports Grants. Lucky for us, skateparks are eligible for this grant for up to $300,000. Unlucky for us, the Mpls. Parks and Recreation are not placing a priority on Elliot Skate Plaza with these grants.⠀ ⠀ Please take a moment to contact Mpls Parks Commissioners to voice your support for seeking this Henn. Co. Youth Sports Grant funding for Elliot Skate Plaza. Let our Commissioners know that Elliot and skateboarding is important to you, plus you would like to see the quality skateparks that we have been talking about and requesting for years and years…completed.⠀ ⠀ Key Commissioners to contact via email - Committee Chair Chris Meyer - Vice Chair Latrisha Vetaw - Elliot Park Commissioner Jono Cowgill - AND all Commissioners should hear from skateboard supporters.⠀ ⠀ Also, to make a BIG impact, show up and make a brief statement during the Weds. 10/2 meeting Open Time at 5:30pm sharp. Here is the details on “Open Time” from the MPRB site - Persons wishing to speak can call in before 3:00 p.m. on the day of the meeting by calling 612-230-6400 to be placed on the agenda or can sign up at the Board meeting prior to the start of "Open Time" at 5:30pm. MPRB Meetings take place at MPRB HQ at 2117 West River Rd N, Minneapolis, MN 55411 ⠀ ⠀ Commissioners seeing and hearing from our large and diverse skateboard community makes an impression. Elliot Skatepark has been a epicenter to Hennepin County skaters and we can not think of a more appropriate current project that would benefit from these grants. ⠀ 🙏🏽for your advocacy and support!⠀ ⠀ #cityofskate #minneapolis #elliotskatepark 📷 @slamdunkapher #richfieldmn #rattrapskateboarding #skate #skater #skateboading https://www.instagram.com/p/B29oUr9F0Ha/?igshid=ve1e6tluwblt
