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.

pertinent information will
be there. Also, I

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!

Lena and Ole entertained
about 60 people at the Farmers Union Annual
meeting last Thursday evening. They had
quite a trip from Norway. Lena was sure
they would get a standing ovation for their
musical numbers!!
Pastor Christopher is holding
a colorful cross decorated by the Crossroads
Youth Group. They took this cross to
Minneapolis to give to another youth group.
Barb Brandvold was all smiles
Friday morning. Daughter Tracy and son
in law Brian had a baby boy the night before.
Baby Andrew Brian weighed in at 8 lbs 9 oz.
Congratulations grandma!!
Brandon returns to
Minneapolis the 15th of June to get his walking
casts and a week of therapy. It is great
fun to see him out and around Edinburg - most
often on a walk with his mom and Jessica or in
the golf cart with his dad.
Please keep up with
Brandon's progress at
www.caringbridge.org/visit/brandonkartes.
The "Steen Sisters" - Olga Rheaume (90), Alda
Nygard (98), Lenore Windingland (85), and Julia
Lee (96). What a wonderful treasure these
four sisters are.
The Edinburg Fire Department erected flags and
flag poles for the celebration. They look
so nice on Main Street.

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.
