2021 Taste of White Bear Lake!
We're still tabulating, but our event raised as much as $40,000 for our service projects internationally and in White Bear Lake and surrounding communities.
We appreciate the presence Saturday of VFW Post 1782 to help us mark and remember the day: the 20th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States.
A special congratulations to Daren Close, whose collective restaurants (Mizu, Acqua, Cabin 61 and Admiral D's) won our 'Best of Show' award. Daron has been a fixture at the Taste of White Bear Lake, like so many of the other vendors. We appreciate all of their steady support -- especially in this challenging time.
A special thank you to the Jaocbsens and Pine Tree Apple Orchard as hosts -- we're fortunate to have such a beautiful location to showcase our club and the vendors who participate.
Last, we appreciate those who bought tickets and helped sell-out our event yet again. Your support is important and appreciated! We are hoping to see you next year!
Postponed till Spring 2022
Depolarizing Conversations About Race is a new skills workshop for difficult but necessary conversations between White Americans about race and public policy. It seeks to improve the culture of conversations about race and provide a constructive alternative to the polarized and judgmental exchanges that dominate our current discourse.
Created by a diverse group of Braver Angels leaders, this new workshop helps White participants develop more skills for listening to others and expressing their own views on race in ways that lead to more productive conversations across differences.
While this workshop is primarily intended for White audiences, Americans of all races are welcome to participate.
Improve skills for listening to others and expressing your own views on race leading to more productive conversations.
