Lidgerwood, ND

As you can imagine, Kids can have fun with almost any media. Searching though newspapers and boxes was no exception on Saturday, March 22, at the KC Hall in Lidgerwood. Kids and parents gathered for the Easter egg hunt. There were areas roped off for four different age levels. It looked like all enjoyed this time together. It went rather quickly for the kids as they found all the eggs. The 2-4 year olds had a more difficult time as many were a bit timid to pick up eggs, their parents assisted them.
A big THANK YOU! to the Knights of Columbus for setting up and sponsoring this event.

I just attended a confrence in Bismarck held by the ND Leagu of Cities. The league is an entire organization there to assist communities and leaders in the running of their towns and cities. I learned many things form the speakers and much more from the other participants. Everyone had good advice for a new auditor. We got to learn in a fun evvironment from each other. The most impressive speaker was the auditor from Northwood, Marcy. She did such an amazing job impessing on us the importance of being prepared. I hope that shoud a tragedy happen in my community we would be able to come together as much as they did.
It was also nice to meet some of the other Horizons community auditors. They were so excited about thier blogs and their communities. I hope to be able to talk with them again soon.

A visit from Jodi was the kick start we needed. We met with Jodi on Tues for our “rest break” meeting. Shelby and Rosalie were with us too. We visited and listened as Jodi told us of projects and accomplishments from other towns, The most exciting to me was the business card talking about the blog site. If you are reading thes, then you know what a blog is. Congratulations. Ronda showed up at my door in just a few hours. She had completed our page in the Horizon book and produced our Blog Cards. Our local distributor immediately began to blanket the town with our cards to help promote our blog and our community. Great job Ronda.

I attended the most wonderful class on March 25. Kathy Skroch worked with Richland Co Extension Service to offer this opportunity.
The room was filled with grown ups who are just like me. We all felt a bit uncomfortable with our machines. I can only accomplish this writing because my daughter talks me through it.
We all worked on our assignments and helped each other. Some attempts were successful and others required a bit of help. We all agreed that is was a great class. We scheduled our next meeting in April. It was a great chance for folks from Lidgerwood and the surrounding area to stretch our skills. An opportunity we would not have had without the cooperation of the school, Richland Co Extension, and hard work from Kathy Skroch.
Thanks Kathy
See you in April

What a difference a few days makes. Just recently several city council people resigned. Our community needed new leaders. The word got out and we have more that a few new people ready to accept leadership in our community. Every community needs willing people to help and take the time to make their town better. Hats off to all the folks who will be on the ballot in our city election in June.
