Last Sunday, the top article in the Star Tribune (buff.ly/3LkMrFU.) was about the increase in evictions statewide. VLN’s Housing Program (buff.ly/3lixytn) helps low-income tenants and landlords. We need more volunteer attorneys to meet this increased demand.

On May 5th we were honored to support The Fund for Legal Aid and @HCBA_MN's 41st Annual Virtual Law Day Celebration to benefit mid-Minnesota legal aid. This year’s goal was raise money for a Justice Bus to bring a mobile Legal Aid office to people with disabilities statewide.

If this "extended winter" thing is getting you down and your vitamin D levels are starting to bottom out, you might wanna consider checking out a HappyLight. @BurgerLibrary now has a couple of these available for checkout. Ask about them at the Circ Desk!
