Big News for the Minnetonka Minute!

Firstly, welcome to 2026! This year will see many big changes for the Minnetonka Minute, which we’re extremely excited to be rolling out throughout the year.

Starting in January, the Minnetonka Minute will be employing a fully developed online Newsletter system. In 2025, we avoided emailing subscribers due to the increased costs that come with such an expansion. However, we have seen an encouraging spike in traffic from across our community that motivates us to take this next step!

Despite the increased cost of upkeep, all of our regular articles and historical information will remain free. Of course, we have accepted contributions in the past and will continue to do so. However, donations go a long way to helping us keep the website running, history flowing, and community engaged!

If you’d like to contribute, feel free to click the button below. Don’t worry, this article will be here when you’re done. Naturally, there’s no pressure at all.

Why subscribe to the Newsletter?

  • Remember Wednesday articles will reach subscribers a day early, every Tuesday.

  • Subscribers will be the first to receive updates on newly published articles, historical topics, interviews, book highlights, and much more.

  • Any additional information sent out via email only, such as error corrections, additional resources, photo galleries, and more.

We implore readers to subscribe to the newsletter by using the form below. To be clear, your email is NEVER used outside, sold, or shared elsewhere beyond this program. The Minnetonka Minute is 100% dedicated to our mission, and we’re looking forward to a new year where we’re more accessible to the community than ever before!
