Congratulations Frederick Community!!!
I just goes to show that even small communities can pull together, come up with great ideas and overcome the negatives.
For those of you who were not able to make it to the Horizons Graduation Celebration on July 19th, you missed a wonderful potluck picnic, and presentation. We were presented with several items from Cheryl and Karla. We received documentations to state that we completed the Horizons II program, A letter which calculated our in- kind contribution based on our volunteer hours spent on at Study Circles, Leadership Plenty and our Strategic Planning meeting, which figures out to about $30,000.00. Isn’t that fantastic. BUT that is not all we received:
I say give yourselves a big pat on the back for all your hard work and time you put in to help get Frederick started on a positive track towards community awareness, community involvement and community commitments.
Oh yeah, Cheryl and Karla also brought delicious cake with them.
Can you believe it is the middle of July already!!!. A lot of things have been going on in Frederick this last month or so. I have been out of touch with this site for personal reasons, but now I am back.
We had our First Annual Finn Fest in June and from what everyone who participated say, it was alot of fun The bonfire on the water was AMAZING. We have set the date for next year, which will be June 27th, 2009 So mark your calendars.

St Paul’s Lutheran has celebrate their 125th anniversary this month. It was a wonderful time to catch up on memories with several of the pastors that had served the congregation in the past. They ended the weekend celebration with a community worship service in the park and potluck picnic, and as usual with small towns they had plenty of food and lots of great fellowship.
