Ernst & Young Volunteers Help with LandscapingTaking advantage of one of the last nice days of summer, Ernst & Young volunteers joined our staff to finish landscaping around our 1210 Glenwood office. The Ernst & Young volunteers helped trim trees, plant bulbs and grass seed, as well as pull weeds and spread woodchips. The Link appreciates their help in making us a good neighbor. If you are interested in volunteering with The Link, please contact Tim Reneau-Major at 612-767-4470. |
My StoryLindquist ApartmentsChad was feeling very discouraged after failing a drug-test and an apartment inspection. He had come to Lindquist Apartments from a dysfunctional family and wanted to succeed. These last setbacks had the 17-year old thinking about moving back home. Chad met with Cameron, a new Case Manager for Lindquist Apartments. Chad commented that he was energized to have a male case manager. Someone who might understand him better. Chad shared that he still wanted to earn his GED. This was a goal he had set up when he moved into Lindquist Apartments more than a year ago. Chad's anxiety and insecurities were a barrier to accomplishing this and other goals. Within three months of re-evaluating his goals with Cameron, Chad had earned his GED. He scored within the 95th percentile on three of the six exams. He had the highest math score the testing facility had ever seen! Chad has renewed confidence after doing so well on his tests. He is now focused on "what's next". He wants to continue his education by starting college next spring. Hennepin County is a sponsoring agency of Lindquist Apartments. |
