Blogging Update

Tuesday, January 29th, 2008

Nice work everyone on your blogs!  Mike is working on a little different instruction sheet so as new bloggers get signed up, there will be a picture of exactly what to type in and click on.  Watch for that!  Keep up the great work.

Great Stories from Communities

Friday, December 14th, 2007

EVERY Horizons community has great stories to tell and time permitting, we would love to hear from everyone!  I do hope that you’ll share your stories on your blog because many people are now reading them! 

We did hear briefly from three communities to help tell the story of what is happening across the state.  Thank you to Kathy Stremick of Walhalla, Gloria Covert and Joann Rodenbiker of Rocklake and Alva Schoepp of Steele for their great updates.  It was an energizing part of the program and thank you all very much! 

At our Horizons celebration next summer, we plan to have stories from EVERY community involved so start thinking about how you might present what has happened in your community over the 18 month period.  I have the wonderful opportunity of hearing about many of them first hand through your phone calls, e-mails and press releases and share them with others often.  Please continue to share and think about how you’ll share in the future. - Lynette
