NEXT WEEK: CALM Conversations on October 21 at 11 AM

Many people at risk for su***de don’t seek professional help—but you can still make a difference. CALM (Counseling on Access to Lethal Means) teaches practical, lifesaving strategies that anyone can use to support someone in crisis. This 90-minute workshop is ideal for individuals whose work brings them in contact with people facing tough times—such as attorneys, bartenders, landlords, or instructors. No mental health background required.

There is no charge for this class thanks to a Vibrant Communities Mental Health grant from the Lower St. Croix Valley Foundation, St. Croix Valley Foundation and an anonymous donor advised fund.

The holiday season is getting closer—and so is Give & Gather: A Holiday Happy Hour.

We’re putting the finishing touches on an evening filled with holiday festivities and community spirit. Picture savory hors d'oeuvres, delicious desserts, impact stories, a powerful giving moment, and a live auction! Plus, plenty of holiday cheer, and the chance to connect with friends, neighbors, and local supporters in downtown Stillwater.

And don’t forget: Santa and Mrs. Claus—brought to life by Princess Paula and her husband—will lead us through the evening with the kind of holiday cheer and spirit you won’t want to miss.

But the best part? Every ticket helps support Community Thread’s programs and services—from Holiday Hope and transportation to Tax Assistance and opportunities for neighbors to stay connected throughout the St. Croix Valley.

Come for the celebration. Leave knowing your evening made a meaningful difference close to home.

Tickets are limited, and this is the perfect way to kick off the holiday season with purpose.

🧠 Move your body. Strengthen your brain!

The greatest agers have several things in common. At the top of that list? They exercise consistently! Join Anna Shelander for “Mind Your Moves,” the next session in Community Thread’s Keeping Your Mind series. We’ll talk about how moving your body builds a stronger brain and which exercises to consider adding to your daily routine.

Last session, we explored the often-overlooked Alzheimer’s risk factors of chronic stress, depression, and isolation—and how unaddressed mental health concerns can affect our efforts to reduce other risk factors. We also discussed spending less time on social media, getting outside, and enjoying positive social interactions at places like Community Thread.

As one attendee shared: “This was just what I needed right now, thank you!”

📅 Monday, October 12
🕑 2 PM
📍 Community Thread (2300 Orleans St. W., Stillwater)

Join us to learn, connect, and take a step toward better brain health!

Give & Gather: a Holiday Happy Hour is more than a festive evening out—it’s a chance to make a meaningful difference for local families.

When Sandy and Jeff found themselves stretching every dollar to cover essentials for their three children, ages 2, 5, and 9, Community Thread’s Holiday Hope program helped make the season a little brighter. Through the Gift Room, they were able to choose new gifts for each of their children—items selected with care and excitement for the holidays ahead.

That is the kind of local impact your support makes possible.

Join us Thursday, November 5 at 6:00 PM at The Lora Hotel & Event Center in Stillwater for festive drinks, good company, and a celebration that supports Community Thread programs—including Holiday Hope.
