Morning Announcements for Sept. 18 and Sept. 19

Tell us what you’re celebrating this week. Whether it's a milestone in your career, a family achievement, a community event, a birthday, or something good happening in your neighborhood, we want to hear your stories.

“Happy birthday to my friend Jean Silver! I was so lucky to be Jean’s next door neighbor when I moved to Minneapolis during COVID-19. We quickly formed a ‘pod’ of neighbors with Jean at the center of it. She is still the center of our friend group and has become one of my best friends ever!”

~ Marion Garcia, Minneapolis

“Happy 44th Anniversary to my husband, Craig! Celebrating with you in the Canadian Rockies has been amazing!”

~ Beth Palmer, Plymouth
