FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
New Discussion On ‘Speak Up, Edina!’
Edina, Minn., Jan. 28, 2016 – The City’s next online discussion is now available at www.SpeakUpEdina.org.
The discussion, which focuses on volunteerism, is available until March 7.
In addition to those who volunteer on the City of Edina’s advisory boards and commissions, the City also
relies on community volunteers for a variety of needs to augment staff. Many service and volunteer clubs and
organizations exist throughout the community, offering residents ways to get involved.
In the discussion, the City asks whether residents volunteer any of their time and why, in what capacity they
volunteer, what volunteer opportunities they’d like to participate in that don’t currently exist in Edina, and if
they would volunteer for the City itself once a formal volunteer program is in place. Feedback from this
discussion will be compiled and presented to the City Council March 15.
In the January discussion, the City asks whether residents use the seasonal outdoor ice rinks in neighborhood
parks, what they think of the quality of rink setup and maintenance throughout the winter, what their favorite
ice activity is and whether there should be more structured programming on the rinks. This discussion is open
until Feb. 8. Feedback from this discussion will be compiled and presented to the City Council Feb. 16.
