BOOK CLUB

Book Club will be starting up at the Key on Monday, Nov. 15th shortly after 7pm. We will be reading The Chosen by Chaim Potok. Also, we have a legitimate St. Olaf student who will be helping us lead discussion! Please stop by the Key to pick up a book if you are interested in attending. There will be snacks!!!

A brief synopsis from Amazon:

Few stories offer more warmth, wisdom, or generosity than this tale of two boys, their fathers, their friendship, and the chaotic times in which they live. Though on the surface it explores religious faith–the intellectually committed as well as the passionately observant–the struggles addressed in The Chosen are familiar to families of all faiths and in all nations.

In 1940s Brooklyn, New York, an accident throws Reuven Malther and Danny Saunders together. Despite their differences (Reuven is a Modern Orthodox Jew with an intellectual, Zionist father; Danny is the brilliant son and rightful heir to a Hasidic rebbe), the young men form a deep, if unlikely, friendship. Together they negotiate adolescence, family conflicts, the crisis of faith engendered when Holocaust stories begin to emerge in the U.S., loss, love, and the journey to adulthood. The intellectual and spiritual clashes between fathers, between each son and his own father, and between the two young men, provide a unique backdrop for this exploration of fathers, sons, faith, loyalty, and, ultimately, the power of love.

Come check it out!

Moving Day still happening despite EPIC floods…

Attention Everyone:

Moving day will still be happening this afternoon at 4pm, we will just be moving a lot less stuff, since the majority of our possessions were evacuated yesterday from the basement, Titanic-style.

We DO still need to move…

-The BIG desk
-The fish tank
-Any other remaining large furniture you want to keep.

Please show up at 4 to lend a buff and helping hand. It shouldn’t take very long at all…less than 30 minutes if we don’t fool around. After that, the old Key will be closed for the day due to cracking and flooding in the basement.


The MEGA Moving Day – Saturday, Sept. 25, 4:00pm

  • Category : News

This coming Saturday (Sept. 25th) at 4:00pm, we are MOVING out of the old Key. Cory has been nice enough to volunteer his truck as transportation for all of the large objects, so we really need to take advantage of this time. EVERYONE IS MORE THAN WELCOME AND STRONGLY ENCOURAGED to come help out with this process. Remember, the sooner stuff gets moved, the sooner we can inhabit the lovely new building!!! It might even be wise to show up BEFORE 4, just so we can have some large boxes ready to go. This is quite possibly our only opportunity to move the big furniture that we want to take (desk, couches, etc), so whatever we want to bring must get brought this day. Make sense?

*Also, if anyone wants to bring a camera for posterity’s sake, please do so. After Saturday, the old Key, which has been home to so many people for 15 years, will be empty and lonely. We should probably document these dying days =(

Book Club is currently reading Bastard Out of Carolina by Dorothy Allison. So far, we’ve met twice to discuss this engaging and controversial book…but it’s not too late to join!! For next time, read through Chapter 13. If you haven’t started yet, be not discouraged, because it is a very quick read and you will catch up in no time.

*Book Club meets every Monday at 5:00 at the (old) Key. ALL ARE WELCOME!!

Today, Danny Dobrow taught another delicious class based around the absolutely groovy (as I like to call it) chickens donated to us by one of our adult board members, Derek Haars (thanks buddy). Along with the fried chicken, we made gravy and dumplings, corn bread and some of the largest apple pies I have ever encountered.

Dewi Sant‘s final stop on their tour was in Northfield, and as always, The Key was very happy to see them again. So were the bats swooping around overhead. They were really happy to see Dewi Sant.

Also along for the ride was The Lonelyhearts and We Are the Willows (below picture).

Going into a week of gratitude and thanks giving, we know that we have so much to be appreciative of. The community of Northfield has never stepped down from a challenge, and they have continually been willing to open both their minds and their hearts to the work around them that needs to be done to make this community a great place for EVERYONE. Never enough words exist to thank all those who give of their time, of their talents, and of their resources. THANK YOU so much to everyone who gave to the NUY during Give to the Max. We are so grateful to you all for believing in the power of youth voice and the creation of a caring community! ...

“Hello, my name is Haley Heiner. I am the Co-President of the Northfield Union of Youth, also known as 'The Key.' I have been attending there for a while now and I’ve honestly never felt more at home there. So many wonderful people have accepted me there and I’ve gained amazing new friendships. The Key has helped me through so much regarding mental health, social skills, financial problems, and more. Without The Key, I don’t know where I would be today, and so many youth could say the same. The Key is the longest-running youth-led and youth-empowering organization recorded in the United States and I want it to stay that way. So many kids, including me, need a safe space like The Key. I'm so grateful that I have a place like this, and I am beyond grateful that our community cares for this organization.” Please consider donating for Give to the Max: give.mn/l8xqif ...
