Co-President’s Thoughts
It was great to see so many of you at our September potluck that got our new year off to a good start. Thanks to Bonnie Rietz and Dani Heiny for leading the discussion on 2020 visioning for Austin.
And what a fabulous turnout for our house tour! Thank you to all who helped in any way. Most of all a big thank you to co-chairs Gerry Rustad and DedaRae Graber for their record setting results. The profits will be going for scholarships to Riverland Community College. Read more about this in a separate article.
We are trying our board meetings at 5:30 p.m. before the member meetings this year. Treats will be provided from 6:30 to 7:00, but you are also welcome to stay after the 7:00 p.m. member meeting for more social time. The October meetings will be at The Welcome Center, 308 – 4th Ave. NW. Please come and learn more about this very vital center for our area.
Our 2011-2012 member directories are expected to be ready by October 11.
Enjoy October in Minnesota – one of our most beautiful seasons!
