Poker Walk June 24
2022-06-24 10:00 - 16:00
The New Ulm Area Chamber of Commerce and Ameriprise Financial, with promotional support from the Heart of New Ulm, invite everyone in New Ulm to participate in the 7th Annual Poker Walk every Friday in June to promote financial and physical wellness.
Here’s how it works:

Every Friday during the month of June, check out the Chamber’s or Heart of New Ulm’s Facebook page for the week’s designated one-mile route, which will include stops at five participating Chamber businesses. You can also pick up a printed copy at the New Ulm Chamber office at 1 N. Minnesota St.
Participants need to stop at each business between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and pick up a playing card, assemble their poker hand, and then stop at the Chamber office at 1 N. Minnesota St. to drop off and register their hand by 4:30 p.m. each Friday.
Each card has one, two or three star-hole punches. Make sure that the card you receive from each business is the same number of stars as your previous one. Poker hands must be submitted with all cards with the same number of star punches.
Email photos of yourself participating in the walk to chamber@newulm.com and you will be entered into a drawing for $10 in Chamber Dollars. Get creative, as these will be posted to the New Ulm Chamber Facebook page (for group photos, identify the people in the photo in your email).
The winning hand from each week will be entered into the Grand Prize Drawing to win $250 worth of gift cards to local businesses.

Understanding NEAR Science: Building Self-Healing Communities
2022-05-03 09:00 - 14:30 | Turner Hall, 102 S State St, New Ulm, MN, 56073, United States
Registration link: https://tinyurl.com/NEARscience
NEAR Science stands for Neurobiology, Epigenetics, ACEs and Resilience research.
Addressing intergenerational and historical trauma is going to take a lot of creative solutions and approaches. Although a short presentation does not provide all the answers, the key goal of this presentation is to build a common language and understanding about Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and the related research as a starting point.
Understanding NEAR Science: Building Self-Healing Communities is presented in three sections:

Neurobiology & Epigenetics focuses on how our brains adapt to our environment during childhood and some basic concepts about related to how toxic stress can impact healthy development.
Key Findings from the ACE study highlights some of the data from the original ACE Study.
Resilience provides a framework for thinking about resilience, and focuses primarily on attachment and belonging, supporting individual capabilities, and culture, community and spirituality as key protective systems.

After attending this presentation, attendees are encouraged to think about how this information could be applied within their own “sphere of influence” (family, workplace, school, community, etc.).
