Start the New Year with Time Together in Person

Volunteers Celebration 5-6 p.m.

Evening of Adoption Connection 6-7:30 p.m.

Let’s start the New Year with time together in person at the Bellis office in Uptown Minneapolis. If you volunteered with Bellis during 2022, we want to celebrate you with a casual event at the Bellis office, just ahead of this month’s Evening of Adoption Connection. Think of it as a two-for-one chance to connect with the Bellis community! No cost to attend.

Tracy Murphy, our Bellis board president will host the volunteer event. Join us at 5 p.m. for light refreshments and door prizes.

At 6 p.m., stay for Evening of Adoption Connection with hosts Pam Hulstrand and Marsha Grund, and facilitator Melanie Waller. Evening of Adoption Connection is for any adults with any foster care or adoption connection (birth parents, birth grandparents, adopted persons, adoptive parents, etc.). We talk about anything/everything that has to do with adoption or foster care—from new relatives to old memories. 

If you didn’t get your art submission in by the Jan. 10 deadline, you can bring them to this event. Learn more and get the entry form—your submission must come with an entry form. Last call for art for the inaugural Bellis art show!
