Just a reminder that the final date to “blog and receive incentives” is June 30, 2008. We certainly hope that you will continue to use your blog as a tool but in order to receive the incentives, you must have everything accomplished by June 30th. Please refer to the blog requirements sheets attached as a refresher.
If you participate on a board (council, commission, park, school, etc). you know it is far more work than simply showing up. Join the Horizons Program, ND Insurance Reserve Fund and ND League of Cities in a seminar designed to make your meetings more effective.
This seminar will be held on Thursday, June 26 in Beach, ND at the LaPlaya Mexican Restaurant from 2:30 - 8 PM with supper included. A brochure is attached for more information and an opportunity to register for a portion of the workshop.
The North Dakota Community Foundation is sponsoring 3 more workshops on community endowment funds in the state next month. Please consider attending these informative sessions. They will assist your community in better understanding community endowments and how your community might set one up for their future. These workshops are free and I encourage you to consider this great offer.
June 5th - Valle Lutheran Church in Rolette at 3:30 PM
June 20 - Steele Community Center at 9:30 am
June 20 - Bowman at 1:30 PM (Mountain Time)
We are in the final month of the “official” Horizons program in North Dakota and I am so thrilled to see all that has been done. You should be very proud of your accomplishments and work to assist your communities in becoming a thriving place for all.
A letter was sent out to contact people in each of our 21 towns regarding a final gala celebration to be held on July 9th at the Bismarck Ramkota hotel from 11-4 pm. This day is all about YOU and the afternoon is planned to hear your stories! I am excited and so looking forward to seeing everyone there.
I have attached a letter with the details for this Horizons Gala on July 9th. We have invited Governor John Hoeven to assist us in a special presentation to each community so I do hope that community members will be able to attend. We have capped it at 10 attendees per community but you can add to the ten any elected state legislators from your region. We really hope they can come and hear your stories as well.
The deadline to RSVP with Sandy Erickson (701-328-9718 or sandra.k.erickson@ndsu.edu) is June 30th. We are so excited to celebrate with all of you!
