Good Morning, Roundabout readers!

Before we get into this week’s lineup, a quick note about today’s significance, not just for Minnesota, but for the future of our newsroom.

Woodbury News Net is just over a year old, and in that short time we’ve grown to more than 3,500 subscribers. That growth reflects something important: Woodbury wants and deserves reliable, factual, paywall-free local journalism. It’s why volunteers first came together in 2024 to build this nonprofit newsroom, and it remains at the center of our mission today. And today, you can help strengthen that mission.

The McKnight Foundation, together with PressForwardMN and NewsMatch, is offering a $4,000 matching grant for Give to the Max Day. Donations made through our GTMD25 page today will be doubled, and they help us unlock additional year-end NewsMatch support that fuels our reporting in 2026. If you’re able, here are a few ways to make an impact:

• Donate today through our GTMD25 page to have your gift matched

• Follow and boost our posts on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, X, and LinkedIn

• Send news tips or consider volunteering, both of which directly expand our coverage

Whether you read, donate, share, or simply tell a neighbor about us, your support has helped rebuild a reliable source of local news in Woodbury. Together, we can keep it growing.

Now, here’s what’s happening around Woodbury this week:
