Longfellow Business Association hosts annual meeting

The Longfellow Business Association (LBA) invites local business owners, community leaders, and neighbors to attend its Annual Meeting on Tuesday, April 22 from noon to 1:30 p.m. at The Hook and Ladder Theater, located at 3010 Minnehaha Ave.
This year’s gathering is all about looking back and leaning forward. Attendees will hear a recap of LBA’s accomplishments from the past year, learn about new membership benefits, and get a first look at what’s ahead – including 2025 goals and updates.
The event will also include board elections, with a call for new members and board members to help guide the association’s continued growth. A vote will be held to approve proposed bylaw changes related to committee structures and engagement.
To keep the vibes lively, the meeting will feature live music from local guitarist Cody Steinmann, plus lunch from Longfellow’s own Himalayan Restaurant.
Tickets are $25 per person, which includes lunch and event admission.
“This is a chance to celebrate the work of our community while building toward an even stronger future,” said LBA Board President Ken McCraley. “Whether you're a longtime business owner or new to the neighborhood, your voice matters – we’d love to see you there.”
All are welcome to attend. Tickets and RSVP information can be found at www.longfellowbusinessassociation.org.
