The end of the year is right around the corner, got some more Christmas shopping to do and a few more new outfits to purchase, just wanted to wish all our neighbors a happy holidays moving into the last weeks of December, hoping everybody has a great Christmas and Happy Holidays and of course a great new years, hard to believe we’re going to be in 2026 in a short time, how the year flew by, it’s actually kinda slowed down for myself the last few months but I couldn’t be happier, I woke up with nothing but joy on my mind this morning and I gotta tell ya it’s a great feeling from a year ago, I really look forward to Skool events coming into the new year and planning them, I look forward to seeing some new faces and know it brings me great joy to be part of Skool and the communities that are trying to build here in Minnesota

As we wrap up this year, I want to know - what do YOU want to see in 2026 for our MN Skool IRL crew? ❄️ We’ve tossed around ideas like: 🎨 Crafting nights ⛸️ Ice skating (bonus points for cocoa!) ❄️ Cold plunging - brave souls only! 🎯 Paintball 🚶‍♀️ Walks + wellness meetups 🍕 More pizza nights ☕ Coffee + connection mornings 💛 Volunteering + giving back Where should we take this group next year? What sounds fun, meaningful, or just so Minnesota that we have to do it? 😂 Drop your ideas below. This community grows with all of us. Let’s make 2026 our most joyful year yet! 🌟 Oh - and to the powers that be @Goose Dunlavey and @Tony Loew ….. any chance we can rename from Minneapolis to Minnesota? Because it really is about ALL of us here in the tundra! Pretty please?!?!? 🤞🥳

I am still smiling after such a great night!!!! Thanks to @Jason Fish @Lex Garza @Sharon Prahl and @Julie L! I know more about paintball, cross-country bike trip, skating boarding, and the beauty of new friends! My heart is full - and I cannot wait for what comes next. This is just the beginning and I am glad to be along for the ride!!!!!
