We did it!!
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:
- 2 large metal signs to place in or near our community that shows we are a Horizon community
- Laptop computer with all the accessories (that will be located at our public library for easy access to everyone)
- All-in-one Printer (also at the library)
- $8500.00 check which we can use for any projects we want
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.
