Lidgerwood, ND

May 4, 2008, found the Council 4778 Knights of Columbus members, family and friends helping make the roads to Lidgerwood a more welcome sight. The Knights and the helpers cleaned six miles of highway, three on Highway 18 North of Lidgerwood and three on Highway 11 to the West of Lidgerwood. As I approach from the west, I can truly enjoy this cleaner view into town. The knights have been part of the Adopt-a-Highway program in North Dakota for many years. We can all be grateful and enjoy the time and effort that they have put into this for all of us to be able to see the difference that it makes.

April 18th the Knights of Columbus hosted a blood drive through United Blood Services. Being a recipient of blood in the past, I am greatly appreciative of this effort to help out a very note worthy cause. This action shows a great respect for life and health and I salute all those who donate and who do the phone calling to line up donations. All of this takes work and time. Thank you! especially to Mike and Kathy Skroch and to Dave Breker for all your phone calls and preparation work. Thanks also to the Knights of Columbus for proving a great facility and lunch for the doners.

Congratulations on the formation of the Lidgerwood Community Club. What a great resource for the future of your community. It is so beneficial to have an organized group working on a long term plan for growth and success.

Well we survived the election process and we have the official results. Some of you have read them in the paper but if not here they are. Bonnie Bubach, Gary Scheffler, and Ruben Medenwald were all elected to the 4 year terms they ran for. Bruce Lynn also won his 2 year term. We are still waiting on the write in for the open two year term. Kathleen Schultz won the Judge, and our two Park Board positions will be filled by Diane Aker and Carie Illies.
The election process was great. I enjoyed running the voting tabulator. I like machines. I was surprised at how quick and easy it is to keep your privacy with the macines. I hope to see a few use the auto mark machine to mark their ballots next time. It was the best way to see our government in action. Everyone can have a voice regardless of age, class, race or ability. I’m looking forward to the November election. I hope that all the ladies will be back to take another go at the Election process. Thanks to all who voted and gave us some work!!!!
See you in November!!!!
