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.

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.
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
It’s a joy to see how the projects we conceived and planned in both Study Circles and LeadershipPlenty are coming into being through the direct efforts of the Strategic Plan committees. It’s also a blessing to see how the individuals who have been a part of the Horizons program are affecting a wider audience. Every Sunday after worship at St. Paul’s Lutheran in Frederick, members of the congregation gather for coffee and bars. The women gather at tables on one side of the basement and the men at tables on the other side in a tradition that I found quaint and sweet when I first moved here 5 years ago. I now see it as a very effective way for us to share ideas and cook up projects that might not necessarily emerge in a mixed group. One of the earliest of these was the Frederick Lounge cleanup project last December. That started at coffee and took off like a rocket. We’re still working with the Frederick Lounge board on the next step for regaining use of the building for a business and/or cafe.
Another project that started with the “church basement ladies” was having someone to be a greeter for our worship services on Sunday. Not that it’s a new idea, but we put it in motion. It’s a nice co-action with the Welcome Wagon activities of the Horizons strategic plan.
Another sharing of the wealth has come from efforts by one of the LeadershipPlenty instructors to bring sound leadership and planning principles into a local organization they attend. The beauty of this is, once you learn something and see how effective it can be, it’s a part of your skillset to be applied everywhere you show up. This will be the legacy of Horizons long after the program ends in June.
Our much-anticipated Wireless Internet connection is available at the Emma Burnham Library. This means that you can bring your own laptop to the Library — or even within 100 feet of the Library — and have a free connection to the Internet. You do need a wireless card in your computer. Of course, our three public use computers plus the Librarian’s are available for the public, but if you BYOC, you can work at the back table without time limits or interruptions. There’s also room to spread out if you’re doing research, either online or from our resources. Let us know how you’re enjoying it. This is a Horizons sponsored project in our town, and we hope this special service will entice computer users into our town and. of course, into (or near) our great Library.
I was delighted to see the informative, helpful posts Cheryl Jacobs makes on the southdakota blogsite (see full URL above). She not only posts the Blog of the Week, but also gives links to grant sources, articles on leadership development and economic resources. All Frederick committee chairs can benefit from checking this site regularly. Cheryl also gives directions on how to link to Google Reader so that we can be alerted when there are new posts from any SD blogger, without checking each town. BTW, Tyndall is a hot spot; don’t miss their posts!
