New York Mills, MN

Just to go along with what Victoria posted, I would like to invite everyone to participate in the newly formed “Leadership Future Squad”.  We plan to meet on Wednesday, November 28, 5:15 pm, in the HS Media Center.

It is now our charge to focus on the issues pertaining to leadership as identified in the NYM vision, to create an action plan to address the issues, and to gather information & resources to accomplish the plans. 

If you have any questions about the Leadership Future Squad, please contact Michelle at 385-2703, Denise at 385-2611, or Julie at 385-2436.  We hope that you can help us out with this!  

Last night 20 community members got together to decide how to work towards the Vision that was created on Oct 27.  After some lively discussion and debate on how to organize the elements within the Vision, 4 Teams or Squads were developed to address action issues.

1. Economy - Agriculture, Entrepreneurship and Established Business support

2. Volunteerism - Unifying current volunteer efforts,   engaging more volunteers from the young and the young at heart, and mentoring

3. Leadership - Locating, training and mentoring visionary leaders for NYM’s future

4. Quality of Life - Outdoor Rec, Culture and Arts and other issues impacting quality of life

Any of these 4 areas spark your interest?  If so, join in you can play a vital role in creating the plan that makes the NYM Vision a reality.  So choose a Squad and get active!  Stay tuned for Future Squad meeting details.
