COMMUNITY CLUB NEWS

Community Club - Off to  a Good Start

     To involve more people, The Edinburg Community Club has been formed.  The former Business Club disbanded; a new group was formed and expanded to include many interested people.  Anyone wanting to join forces with friends and neighbors to participate in improving the community is invited.  Meetings are generally held at 7 PM in the Community Center the first Thursday of every month.  We try to keep the meetings to an hour.  A community brunch was the first of what we hope will be many successful experiences.  (If the people coming to the brunch had as much fun as the planners and preparers, A GREAT TIME WAS HAD BY ALL!!)  People of all ages will be welcomed with open arms.  If you have questions contact Katie Hall, Julie Byron or Mary Burkett.  Join us to improve our community.  We need and want you.

 

"Wish List" in the Making

    We have resources to help improve our community.  You can help us know what the needs are.  To get the community's input, we are starting a "wish list" of projects.  Add your ideas.  Write them on paper and place them in the slot for city business in the entry of the Community Center.  Some of the ideas that have been submitted include: 1)keyboard for the Community Center, 2) exercise equipment and place to exercise in winter, 3) bike and walking paths, 4) outdoor Christmas decorations, 5) flowers to beautify Edinburg, 6) emergency funds for families and individuals in need, 7) artifical trees for Community Center, 8) dishwasher for Community Center, 9) "Welcome to Edinburg" sign for the north entrance of town.  Please contribute your ideas.  We also invite you to be a part of the discussion to decide which one/s to accomplish.

Communities thrive when people care.  Join us.  Your ideas and support are needed and welcomed.

Check out the Education Page.  The school is collecting Campbell Soup labels.  All the pertinent information will be there.  Also, I have posted an update from the wonderful FAAES group that does so much for the school.

Northeast North Dakota is a well-kept secret, especially the little town of Edinburg.  It sits on the edge of the fertile farmland of the Red River Valley and the prairies of the west.  Edinburg has a population of about 250 people with the drive, dreams and heart of cities 10 times its size.  Edinburg could be a "throw-back" to the 50's with its pristine cleanliness, manicured yards and well-kept homes, but it is most definitely planted in the 21st century with citizens who strive to keep Edinburg very much alive!

Suzy, Brandon and Chuck Kartes are most definitely in our thoughts and our prayers.  Brandon leaves tomorrow for Minneapolis for pre-op with surgery scheduled for Monday morning.  Please keep up with Brandon's progress at  www.caringbridge.org/visit/brandonkartes.

The caringbridge website is such a wonderful way to keep in touch with those that are going through tough times.  Thank you Suzy for allowing us to be a part of this time with your family. 

Brandon, we love you SO much and just know that ALL OF EDINBURG is thinking about you and praying for a quick and easy recovery.  You are one special guy!! 

The Edinburg Fire Department erected flags and flag poles for the celebration.  They look so nice on Main Street.

Morgan along with her mom and dad, Jared and Jessica are playing with the 12 puppies their family pet gave birth to a few week ago.

OLD EDINBURG!  What a beautiful picture.  Mark Gire sent this picture of Edinburg.  He found it when going through some of his dads belongings after Lloyd's death.  He thinks it was taken about 1910.  It was a black and white photo that was hand-painted.  It has been reduced down in size so you viewers cannot read all of this information.  The church in the forefront is St Paul's Lutheran Church.  It stood where Beverley Hall lives today.  We have "picked out" Leroy and Louise Pederson's home plus what we think was Doc and Dorothy Flaten's home.  That is where Bonita Olson lives today.  Notice the "old" Trinity Lutheran Church and the wonderful old schoolhouse.  What a treasure this picture is.  Thank you Mark so much for sharing this with us.
 
 
 
 
 
 
  Edinburg has been named the "BIRD CAPITAL" of North Dakota. 
 
  Rendevousz Region Bird Club President, Janne Myrdal said the designation was not sanctioned by the state, but Governor Hoeven knew about it and wished Edinburg well.  The Edinburg City Council approved the naming. 
 
Bird watching has become quite a popular pastime in this area.  Janne hopes soon every yard in Edinburg will have bird houses and birdfeeders.
