The community
Brown County has set a drop off site for the community of Frederick again this year. They have moved the site to the north side of the the County Shop in Frederick. They are taking applianances, furniture, tires, paint cans, metal objects and much more. If you missed the Helping Hands day we had here a couple of weeks ago you can still get rid of your items. So now is the time to clean out that basement, garage and sheds. They will be taking items until May 11th.
Day of Champions is here again and we are able to have the help from NSU again this year. On April 26th, 2008 we will have 10 of Northern State University Athletes helping our community members with our yearly Helping Hands Clean Up Day. We will be working in the Park, Main Street and collecting old furniture, appliances, paint, etc.
We will start the day at 9:00 a.m. with Rolls, Coffee and Juice and then have a lunch with lots of good food at the Frederick Lounge for all the workers.
Speaking of workers, WE NEED THEM!!! young and old. We can find a job suited for everyone even if you can’t do heavy or strenuous work we can use your help to serve food or run errands.
Lets show our support and make our community shine

This is a great chance for you to get involved or get re-involved with moving FREDERICK FORWARD
They are truly trying to give us as much helpful information and opportunities to aid our community members/leaders into action. We all agree our town needs to move forward and have a more positive outlook for the future of Frederick.
There has been a lot of interest in the plans for the Auditorium, from those who remember it as a gymnasium and dance hall, to strangers who have only heard about it recently.
Those following the Horizons group and Frederick Forward are familiar with the idea of using the space as a ’Secret Garden’.
Moving forward with that in mind, we are currently working on locating blueprints, discussing options for initial cleanout, and will hopefully be contacting those that have expressed interest in working on the project in the near future. Anyone with resources that might be helpful in the cleanup effort may be first on the list, but as we move forward there will be a lot of work in planning, design, fund-raising and organizing that will require volunteers from the community. A few reminders might be necessary, but if all goes well, look for updates here on a semi-regular basis.
For inquiries, or interest in volunteering any time or other resources, please send an email to: frederick.secretgarden@gmail.com
We are looking for anyone interested in working with the inflatable movie theater. When we rent out the system we need someone to deliver, set up/take down the system and supervise. You must be a licensed driver, you will be unloading and loading equipment, and supervising the system while it is being used. We will be having training sessions in the near future to ensure everyone is properly trained on the electronics and the setup of the screen. You can contact Tonya Zinter @ 329-2631 or Donna Sumption @ 329-2462. You will be paid for your time and expenses. So if this is the job for you then call us. This is a good opportunity for earning extra income and a great chance to promote our community and use your leadership skills
