Last year when Horizon’s first got started there were many study circles held through out Chisholm. One of the remarks in many different circles was that Chisholm had no signs letting people know what things are or were to get tickets for the bobber. We are please to see that Chisholm does have signs now. Has anyone else noticed?
We met on a very frigid evening to gather around a wonderful meal of Pizza & Wings, purchased from Jim’s Sports Club. On an evening like this, the Hot wings did the trick!! Many wonderful, concerned and energetic people from the community were on site to begin to brainstorm our Community Goals and trainings and/or resources needed to achieve them.

The Youth Involvement meeting that was scheduled for Jan. 8th is going to be postponed until later in the month. When we have chosen a date I will let everyone know. Thank You and sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
The Steering Committee met with MN Extension Staff on Friday, December 14th.
We discussed the future plans that the Youth Involvement and Community Awareness Squads are identifying.
We also had a lengthy discussion as to the hosting a 1-day training for all Future Squads. In this day long event, Future Squad leaders and members would be able to get a better idea of the requirements and guidelines around their focuses. Also, the day-long session would allow for some group time to discuss the new knowledge and let the groups begin to identify strategies.
We are hoping to set up this Training in Mid-January 2008, stay tuned for more details….
