Where the River Meets the Lake - Autumn 2026 Newsletter

I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.

Lucy Maud Montgomery in Anne of Green Gables

Autumn is such an intentional time of year. The harvests are coming in, the leaves are turning, birds are migrating and bears are bulking up. FOLSR is also stepping into the season with purpose.

Aside from the upcoming events listed in this newsletter, we're asking Duluth Whole Food Co-op owners to vote for FOLSR as a recipient of the annual GIVE! Community Support Program. This means during a portion of the year, when Co-op patrons round-up their payment at the register, FOLSR would receive that money.

The funds we collect through donations, memberships and grants support our AmeriCorps member, supplies for events and volunteer activities, and the necessary operating costs that make a non-profit run. These operating costs include insurance, software, hardware and business management tools.

If you are a Co-op member, please vote for FOLSR by October 11, 2026:

Happy autumn! And, if you see our new AmeriCorps member -- Piper Bandera -- around the community, please welcome her to the area.

Your Friend,

Sharon Moen
