The Volunteer of the Year Award goes to Sandy Carlson-Kortebein who has put in so much of her organizational skills, time, and energy into Sheridan Neighborhood for years. She ran the Silent Auction at this year's SNO Ball and we could not have raised those funds for the Northeast Minneapolis Arts District and our programming without her. Thank you, Sandy!

The Business of the Year Award goes to @fletchersicecream, a business in Sheridan which prioritizes our local community! For the last few years, they haven't hesitated in donating ice cream for our summer Ice Cream SNOcials and we are so thankful for their generosity that supports community-building in Sheridan. Thank you, Fletcher's!
