NEW MEMBERS 2022
EVOLVE ADDICTION FAMILY
RECOVERY SUPPORT
114 1st St South, Suite 2
612-850-9376

Just opening this year, owner Leanne Niemela, has a passion for families of loved ones battling addiction. Most often the focus with addictions is usually on the person with the addiction. The families find themselves trying to understand and support their loved one, but may not have the tools they need or the support they need to do so.

Leanne focuses on how the recovery for the whole family increases positive outcomes for the addicted loved one. Addictions impact everyone in the loved one's circle, so the recovery process should be for everyone too!

The tool Leanne uses is evidence-based approaches of CRAFT - Community Reinforcement And Family Training and ITC - Invitation To Change. She is open by appointment and is located in The Travel Gallery Mall building in the member, Pivotal Approach Therapy offices of Brett Nikula.

Leeanne grew up in the Rockford/Corcoran area and currently lives near Monticello with her husband and 12 kids. Thank you Leanne for offering up such a valued service to our area!
INTENTIONAL WELLNESS SOLUTIONS
30 1st Ave NE #7
763-400-8177

Another wellness advocate, owner Jamie Anderson, focuses on mental health services and medication management with her Family & Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner certification.

Jamie encourages clients to talk through their stressors in life - just everyday people with everyday stuff - that may be something short term or need lifetime management. Clients who have sought out services received relief from: sleep disturbances, difficulty concentrating at work and/or home, irritability with friends and family, loss of pleasure with previously enjoyable activities, relationship stressors, depression, anxiety, fatigue, and/or other concerns. She can help with pre and post-menopausal therapy/hormone replacement and medically managed weight loss as well. The end goal is to become your best self!

Jaime moved from Woodbury to Buffalo in February. She has three teenage children and loves all that Buffalo has to offer. Thank you, Jamie, for your services and your membership!
AMBASSADORS ON THE MOVE
ANNIE'S ATTIC ANTIQUES
1205 Hwy 25
763-682-2818
Open every day 10:00-6:00/11:00-6:00 on Sundays

Celebrating 33 years open this year, Annies is a treasure trove of items from the past. It's always fun to walk through and see things from your childhood and find that unique something you are looking for! It also is a place where the vendors and staff there join for coffee and conversation.

We spoke with Annie's son, John, on our visit. They currently have about 30 vendors that sell a variety of things. They all work 2 days a month, so they don't have to pay staff to operate the store. Being open every day is a lot of hours to cover. John said they are getting some collector coins soon, which will be a new addition. The most expensive things there are some old furniture or metal signs. The hot items now are western items and Pyrex dishes. There are so many unique things there, that when asked what is most unique, you just have to come in and see for yourself!

Below find Ambassadors Jackie Crever/Farmers Insurance Jackie Crever Agency, April Murch/Family Counseling Center, Vendors Randy, Gail, John, and Mary, me and Ambassador Sherry Dahmen of All Over Nutrition.
