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.
On April 17th from 1:30-4:00 the Newell Library is putting on an Open House with the theme of “The Wild West.” There will be a raffle along with prizes to win and refreshments with books, books, books!

The shelter has been delayed due mostly to winter weather. The supplies are purchased and the work crews are on board. We just need some good weather and time to get the volunteers together to finish. The concrete floor and walk path is the next step which will be done by Boom Concrete and then Bob Newth will organize the work to finish the shelter. We are a little later than originally planned, but then this winter hasn’t exactly been conducive to concrete or volunteer labor. Please bare with us as we work toward finishing this project this spring.
We have scheduled this night for Thursday, March 27th. We will eat at 6:00 p.m. and then work will begin at 6:30. We will be meeting at the Senior Citizen building. If you need to have research done before you can begin planning, please try to have it done before this night. The committee and their chairs are listed below. Committee Chairs please call your volunteers and let them know about this meeting. It is very important that we work hard until the end so we can receive our $10,000 dollar grant amount. We have worked too hard to lose it now. The end is in sight! If you have questions, please let me know! Thanks so much!

This was sent with the Report cards - FYI!
For ALL Horizons communities:
It will be up to your community to decide what happens with your community blogs in the future. Some communities may see the value of continuing the blogs after Horizons is officially completed this summer. We also realize that some community blogs may choose to end when Horizons ends. NWAF has told us that the blogs will be active for as long as your community wishes to use them. Some benefits of community blogging include: · A place to share ideas in your community.· Open forum for discussion/decision making.· Interactive way to measure your progress on projects.· Marketing tool to attract new residents, potential project funders, positive press from local news outlets, etc.· A way to stay accountable/build momentum/gather volunteers and resources for planned projects, dreams and goals.
This is the last “report card” we will send to your community, but your work should continue through the end of the project. Many of you have followed the suggestions for improvement we had given you on the report cards sent in January/February.
Shoot for the Stars (Laptop Computer)
Faith, Newell & Whitewood – Would still like to see more active users, at this time there is one or two main bloggers, and a few others who have blogged once or twice. Technically you are meeting the requirement of having five bloggers for this incentive level, but only two of the five are “making contributions to the blog” consistently. Secondly, we would like to see posts specific to progress on your goals in the strategic plan. Overall, your community is still working at the Shoot for the Stars incentive…some, just barely. Your “to do list” through the end of Horizons:
1. Get one or two more people to blog consistently though the end of the project.
2. Add posts about the progress on strategic plans (Records of committee work, meeting minutes, photos of projects in action/completed, stories about people, how things have changed, etc.)
3. If you haven’t already, include the answers to the monthly questions. We would like to read more than just one person’s perspective, for example, you may choose to give this as an assignment to committee members and/or other community members.
4. Also, we would also like to stress quality versus quantity through the end of the project. We would really like to see specific posts on how your Strategic Plans are being implemented.

The Lip Sync put on by the National Honor Society was a great success this year. On March 17th at 7:00 pm there was a crowd roaming around eating cookies and juice waiting for the judges: Amy Gibson, Kevin Nakajima, and Mrs. Hogan to decide who won the prizes.
