Horizon Team Work Plan

Tuesday, May 20th, 2008

The Horizon Team met to cover the items listed as goals and accomplishments in the draft Work Plan. 

The Work Plan is a necessary component of the Horizons Project.  Once this Plan is completed, it will be submitted to MN Extensions and brought to the Northwest Area Foundation for consideration.  ONCE the plan is approved, the Community of Chisholm will then receive the last payment from the NWAF of $8,500.00.  This money is and can be accessed to help Chisholm fight Poverty!

The Horizon Team is also looking to schedule a “Community Transitional” Event on Friday June 13th.  This will be a Fabulous event where all those people that gave of their own time to help our Community by getting involved in the Horizons Program will be acknowledged!

If you are interested in attending this event, please contact Lynne at 218-996-1256.
