Horizons Spring Fling
A dozen Horizons participants attended the Spring Fling on May 29. It was a reunion of sorts–a chance for us to catch up with all the events of the last six months. We started with a nice meal catered by the 66 Cafe. Then Teresa Wiemerslage gave a presentation on the history of the Horizons project and what has happened in the last six months. There has been a lot of projects! Sometimes you don’t think anything is happening, but when you take time to look back, you get a little perspective. The Habitat group has 3 houses to paint this summer and are looking for volunteers and more funding. The start of the Allamakee New Beginnings group is pretty neat. Mr. Burk who is a retired school superintendent commended the group on their initiative to start the non-profit to make sure that the Horizons ideas keep moving forward. That was a pretty special comment–especially since Mr. Burk isn’t easy to impress! The group decided to keep meeting in the future to make sure the projects keep going.
