For the Minnesota Star Tribune
October 6, 2017 at 7:11PM

Guests at the Ability Bash were treated to gourmet cuisine and live music in the Solar Arts Building in northeast Minneapolis. The evening also featured employees and beneficiaries of Minneapolis-based nonprofit MDI, originally Minnesota Diversified Industries. The 50-year-old light manufacturer and packager employs more than 300 workers, about half of whom have disabilities. The Ability Bash helps to raise funds to advance the careers of disabled people.
