Block Clubs this is a call to Action!

Make a statement about living in Lyndale with your very own Lyndale lawn sign.

Lyndale community members have the chance to make their own lawn sign by completing either of the following phrases:

“I am making Lyndale neighborhood better by….. “ and

“…..makes me feel safe.” (In English and Spanish).

Show Lyndale unity, while expressing yourself independently (and creatively)!

Block clubs show your stuff! The block or block club with the most signs by Thanksgiving, will win a free pizza party! We will be judging the competition on Monday, December 1^st. Block must have at least 5 residences with signs to be eligible to win the party.

Peter Haakon Thompson from the Neighborhood Art on Wheels and the A-project continues to work with us on this latest community public art project.

Signs will also be available at the LNA office to pick up at 3537 Nicollet Ave. S. For more information or if you need signs for your block, contact Sarah at 612-824-9402 ext. 12 or sarah@lyndale.org.
