The City of Woodbury is rolling out the welcome mat for its newcomers with an event dubbed 'Welcome to Woodbury,' set to take place at the M Health Fairview Sports Center, 4125 Radio Drive, from 4:30-7 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 23. Bringing together recent arrivals and locals, the gathering offers an opportunity for residents, especially those who have moved to Woodbury in the last couple of years, to familiarize themselves with a breadth of municipal services, community initiatives, and activities meant to foster neighborly bonds.
Enticement to mingle abounds, with planned interactions including meet and greets with Woodbury City Council members and city staff who will inhabit numerous information booths, yet the event does not skimp on leisure, offering several inflatable structures for energetic bursts of amusement, alongside food truck fare and concessions, albeit their wares’ll invite a dip into your pocket. Acknowledging the event's focus, the invitation is also extended to anyone keen to learn more about Woodbury, so don't hesitate to bring along your next-door dwellers for an informative and convivial evening, as mentioned on the City of Woodbury's official page.
Assurance that the event is mindful of inclusive communication comes in the form of language accessibility services available upon request. Those in need of interpretation or with additional inquiries can reach out to Ashley Bednar by dialing 651-414-3463, or ideally, before Thursday, Oct. 9, rounding out the preparations and ensuring comprehension straddles no barriers.
As gleaned from the City of Woodbury's announcement, participation is free of charge—a gesture affirming the open-armed ethos of this Minnesota community, the event itself is a testament to Woodbury's investment in a well-notched fabric of local life, sponsored by the city to endorse a sense of belonging and civic pride amongst its populace where local nonprofit organizations will also set up booths, potentially expanding the network of supports and resources available to residents.
