October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month! Join us on October 17th as we Take Steps to End Domestic Violence.

In memory of Duncan and Jack Leichtenberg, and in honor of Duncan’s 11th birthday, we invite you to support Mid Central Community Action’s Countering Domestic Violence program as we run, walk, roll or ride the one-mile trail through beautiful Tipton Park, Bloomington. And we don’t want our four-legged friends to miss out – what a great excuse to give your dog a workout too!

You can choose to participate in a 5K run or a 1 mile family walk, and in honor of Duncan’s 11th birthday, kids 11 and under can participate for free.

See our events page for more details, and to register.  See you on the Trail!

It’s almost time for our annual fundraising dinner!

On Friday, June 18th, you can enjoy a wonderful dinner at the Doubletree Hotel in Bloomington. As you dine, you will be entertained by the ever-popular Touch of Soul. Following the presentation of the Dreamweaver Awards, please feel free to extend your visit with us as we treat you to the local talent of Soft Spoken.

The Midsummer Night’s Dream themed event celebrates “dreams in action” – the journeys that our award winners have taken to get them to a place where they are gaining control, they are self-reliant, and they are safe.

Watch for more details coming very soon!

The competition is over for this year, please look for the 2010 Uptown Downtown Scavenger Hunt in the Fall.

Congratulations to 2009 Uptown Downtown Scavenger Hunt winners:
The Inner Circle!

Do you think you know Bloomington and Normal?

How familiar are you with the buildings and sites that surround you?

Do you know where this photo was taken?

If you were given a series of 100 photographs, and two weeks to locate them all, we think you would learn a lot more about the Twin Cities than you think you may already know!

Are you up for the challenge?

Here’s how it works. First, you will need to get together a group of friends. Five is ideal.

Register your team with Mid Central Community Action, Inc. and pay the entry fee of  $100 (that’s just $20 per person for a team of 5!)

Very ornate, but do you know where it is?

Your team will receive a spiral bound book with 100 photographs of various sites, buildings, landmarks and signs in Bloomington and Normal. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to identify as many of those photographs as possible.

The winning team will receive a grand prize of $500, and be crowned the Uptown Downtown Scavenger Hunt Champions of 2009!
Will you accept the challenge?
