Hmong Culture: Meet at Haven Asian Eatery

One of our newest members, Paja Xiong, will present to our club. Paja is a second-generation Hmong woman with over eight years of experience in community work. Her background includes working in social services, reviewing policies, creating, and implementing programs that empower local communities, and capacity-building initiatives. In her down time, Paja enjoys walking with her dog, giving back to the Hmong community, and spending time reading or watching movies.

Paja will present on Hmong Culture. Listen as she shares about the history of the Hmong people, their culture, and why Minnesota became the home for the largest population of Hmong people in the United States.

Jenifer Loon, Executive Director for PROP, will update us on the organization's status and how we can volunteer or help out. More than 50 years ago, People Reaching Out to People was founded on the principle of helping neighbors by donating time, food, and money to those in need. More recently, PROP has expanded its services to not only meet the basic needs of the 1,200 families it serves but also provide support as clients build a more secure future.

Dresser Assembly Service Project

Tuesday, December 10, 4 – 6pm at The PROP Shop, 15195 Martin Drive, Eden Prairie.

The PROP Shop is a nonprofit serving local families in need with a donation center and resale store. The Family Service area helps local families with free clothing, household goods, and furniture. The PROP Shop receives packaged dressers that need to be assembled for clients.

Our club members will work in groups of 2 or 3 to assemble dressers. It’s a hands on service project with an opportunity to visit with club members while volunteering.
