Part of our strategic plan was to work together with other community groups to plan the Newell centennial. The first meeting of the Newell Centennial Committee is going to be held on Thursday, April 10th at 7:00 p.m. at TJ’s Cafe. Everyone is welcome to come and help plan this special occasion.

Spring Has Sprung!

And with it the construction continues on the picnic shelter. Boom Concrete is preparing for the pour of concrete. Cold weather is always more work with pouring a slab and presents more opportunities for the unexpected. Now, with the warming of things, we see construction begin again. Stay tuned to see how it progresses.

About 8-10 people attended last week’s work meeting. We went through each goal of our strategic plan and looked at the progress of each goal. Some deadlines had to be pushed back, there were others that had already been met. After examining each goal we then discussed what needed to be done on each goal and how we could best get that goal back on the timeline originally set.  We are excited about the progress that has already been done. The meeting also helped us to get excited and motivated about contining on to get all our goals accomplished.

Thanks to all who have worked so hard on the Horizons project. You are making a difference!
