Unmasking Imposter Syndrome (In-Person)
2023-08-03 17:30 - 20:30 | Red Wing Ignite, 419 Bush St, Red Wing, MN, 55066, United States
Do you suffer from “Imposter Syndrome”? Do you know what it is? It’s that fear that we won’t measure up or self-doubt that we have what it takes to be successful. That feeling that causes us to nod when someone says, “Fake it till you make it,”…. yet, we know that others have confidence in us and believe us capable. That might bubble up when you take on a new job or join a gym, or try to learn a new skill. How do we learn to treat ourselves as well as we treat others? How do we show up authentically and confidently and lose that sense of being an imposter?
Join us for this panel discussion to learn strategies for managing these challenges when you are stepping into new spaces and roles.
Our panelists for the evening are:
⭐Randii Waddell – Entrepreneur and Owner of Randii Waddell Consulting & Services.
⭐Mandy Cardinal – Entrepreneur & Owner of Mandy’s Coffee & Cafe.
⭐Marisa Kinney – Senior Director of Global Retail for Red Wing Shoes.
⭐Moderated by: Dr. Christine Beech, Director of Entrepreneurship and Innovation at Red Wing Ignite.
Agenda:
☑️ 5:30p – 6p Networking & great food
☑️ 6:00p – 7p Panel discussion

Bluffs and Brews: Paddling the Backwaters of the Mississippi River
2023-07-27 15:30 - 20:00 | MN
Bluffs & Brews adventure of the summer takes participants on a canoe-bound journey through the Mississippi River Backwaters. While canoeing, take a step back in time and learn about the importance of the river to the town and region as well as learn a little history about the parks we have on the river. Then join us at a local restaurant after trip.
What is Bluffs and Brews?
Bluffs & Brews is a collaborative program between the Red Wing Environmental Learning Center and the
Goodhue County Historical Society that began in 2015 and took a brief hiatus during COVID.
There are three parts to a Bluffs & Brews program:
First, the group explores an interesting local history topic through an engaging presentation and Q & A session led by the folks at the Goodhue County Historical Society.
Next the group explores the outdoors, specifically a local area that represents the historical topic discussed.
And finally, after the outdoor adventure, the group convenes at a local restaurant to reflect on the experiences.
To register or for more info contact the Goodhue Historical Society.
Program cost ($20.00) includes equipment usage and any other associated fees not including food and drink.

LIGHT UP CANNON FALLS has activities happening throughout December.

ADOPT A TREE/DECORATE FOR OTHERS/DECORATE YOUR OWN – Everyone is invited to help their family, friends, neighbors, the elderly, and disabled individuals decorate their homes or yards for the holidays. This can be a group of people working together or an individual. You may need to bring decorations and lights. Senior Living facilities love to get help decorating the outside of their building for their residents to enjoy.

Just let the Chamber know where you are decorating so it can be included in the Lighting Up Cannon Falls Tour Map. Photos would be great to share too. On December 17th, the map will be posted on the Chamber’s webpage, FaceBook and Instagram.

If you are decorating your own home or business, please let the Chamber know that too. We will include you on the Tour Map. December 16th is the deadline to get your tree or decorating locations on the map.

BUY LOCAL GIVING TREE – This is a tree that will be at the Chamber Office and it will be decorated with tags that have specific gifts for school-age children in our area. We are collecting the names of the children and any specific details that are necessary (sizes, colors, age-specific, etc…)

These tags will start to be hung on our tree Friday, December 3rd. Come in and get a tag, purchase the item from one of our local merchants, if possible, and return the wrapped gift with a note describing what is inside back to the Chamber by noon on Friday, December 17th. These gifts will be distributed to the families between December 20th – 23rd.

TOYS FOR TOTS – The Chamber will have a Toys for Tots Box at the office. Please bring your new unwrapped gifts to help fill the box. The box should arrive at the beginning of December and it will be picked up no later than the middle of December.

SCAVENGER HUNT – There will be over 20 holiday items to find throughout Cannon Falls. On Friday, December 3rd, the clues will begin to be posted on the Chamber’s webpage, FaceBook and Instagram.

Everyone completing the hunt will get their name in a drawing and Chamber Dollar prizes will be awarded ($200, $100 and $50). Those participating will need to turn in a completed list to the Chamber by noon on Friday, December 17th. The prize winners will be announced on our social media pages that afternoon, and the prizes can be picked up through Wednesday, December 22nd, at 4:30 pm.
