Take a look at the new visit counter installed on the site, now we’ll have an idea of just how many folks are reading our blog!

Also added is a recent comments section on the right sidebar - instead of searching through old posts trying to find unread comments, new comments will be listed as they are posted on the sidebar.

**The counter was reset on 12/6 as it was changed to count unique visits rather than just hits (hits means it would count every time you went from a post back to the main page). Counting visits should give us a more accurate idea of how many visitors our blog receives. As I understand it, it will now count each time you visit the site in general, not count each time you go back to the main page.

Could Change in Presho lead to some spare change in Newell?

This blog post from Presho caught my eye - it’s very similar to what many of us do with our WRCTC bill (Round Up program). Anyone think this could be a viable option for Newell???

Presho Blog Post: The idea behind the “Change Presho” campaign is to ask folks to donate to a community project the change they receive from local businesses . For example, your bill at Husman’s could be $23.12. If you wrote your check for $24, it would be easier to balance your account and you could donate 88 cents to a community project. I think we would all be surprised how much money we could raise this way for really very little effort or expense on any one person. What could a community project be - maybe some possibilities would be trees in the boulevards, community signs, the community resource booklet, there are many ideas that could be pursued. What do others think of this idea?

I’ve added a new page on the right - NVN  AREA BUSINESS DIRECTORY!

By no means do I think I’ve gotten every business included, so lets work together and make this the most complete and accurate list of services available in our area.

Hey, if folks know they can get it local - they won’t go elsewhere!!! On the flip side, maybe if out of area folks know we have it, they’ll come here to get it!

Add to the list yourself, or comment under any blog with additional information and it will be added asap. I’d like to also include links to our local businesses web pages - so don’t be shy, send in your information!

As if our teachers don’t give enough, they’ve gone one step futher this year - this is the letter students brought home recently:

I noticed this evening that we’ve got 91 comments on our blog so far - think we can get to 100 before Christmas???

The annual Newell Elks Hoop Shoot was held in the MSGym on December 2nd. After shooting 25 shots, 13 Newell students between 8-13 yrs old qualified to move on to the District level held in Lead on December 8th.

Newell’s Lutheran Church put on a lunch, craft bazaar, bake sale, and even had entertainment provided by the Slim Butte Boys on the afternoon of December 1st. All proceeds will go towards crisis intervention in our community.
