Sheyenne found on Wikipedia! For those of you who don’t know what wikipedia is, it is an online encyclopedia where people get a username and password and create pages on what they want.

We would like to keep you all posted on what is happening with the school. As of now the Economic Development Committee, the Horizons Group and the Town Board are working on many avenues to use this building. Our first venture is to work with LADCO Development Company to make a plan for the building. Jon Garnaas is the owner of this company and he and his colleagues were in Sheyenne to help us oversee this venture. Thank you to Jeff Labrensz,Gradyn Albrecht,Bob Hanson, Dean Warren, Richard Hoffner, Pastor Sharron, and Peder Larson for taking time out of your schedules to meet with LADCO at the school and share your expertise with them. Thank you to the crew at LADCO for taking your time to share your talents and expertise with all of us! Thank you to all who made and served the wonderful lunch and for all who attended the meeting in the afternoon. If I have missed anyone I apologize in advance. Just blog your name in. Together we can make a difference!
What a great day this was for Sheyenne and we now have begun our journey to make our school come alive!

             The Horizon’s Group has been a busy bunch the last two months. With everyone taking part and getting involved,things are beginning to take form. Following are a few things that have been happening.
Becky Meredith, Paula Myhre and Collin Hanson attended the blogging training in Harvey. What a great experience this was!

Patti Larson and Pastor Sharron Lucas have submitted the Stategic Planning Document and it was written beautifully! Here are a few of their comments. Sheyenne will celebrate its 125th anniversary in 2008 with a renewed sense of heritage and a vision for the future. We as proud citizens are committed to improving our community’s image and to restoring civic pride, to offering inviting oppurtunities to tourists and residents, to taking advantage of our natural resources and community skills and talents, and to improve our quality of life.
The steps for creating a community 501(c)(3) organization is in the process. Thanks Jon Olson for your expertise in this area!
The next Horizon’s meeting will be January 26th with a noon lunch and sleigh ride and more exciting information about our next endeavors.
A great big thanks to all who have been involved and are choosing to spend their time for making our town a better place to live in! We all have our individual talents and if we so choose to make them available to others we will make Sheyenne a wonderful place to live and to visit!
In closing I would like to leave you with a quote “If you want to go fast go alone, if you want to go far go with others.”
Wishing all of you a blessed and wonderful Christmas Season!
