Our December issue is dedicated to celebrating the spirit of generosity that thrives within our community. In this edition, we highlight the remarkable efforts of two Edina residents whose philanthropic endeavors have made a profound impact across the globe. Closer to home, we commemorate a significant milestone
for Normandale Lutheran Church, which marks its 75th anniversary this year. For decades, the church has been a
cornerstone of our community, offering support, comfort and a helping hand to those in need. Its unwavering commitment to service is a testament to its devotion to our city and its people. This issue also takes a nostalgic turn as we revisit the cherished tradition of Dayton’s Santa Bear and how one Edina shop has brought back this beloved icon that has brought joy to countless families over the years. And as you prepare for festive
gatherings, don’t miss our list of delicious hostess gifts from local small businesses—perfect for sharing the warmth of the
season with those you hold dear. Dece
