REFLECTING AND VISIONING

The committee is almost speechless in regard to the success of our celebration. We are extremely greatful to all of you who came and shared our excitement of 150 years in existence. Of course, it would not have been possible without the cooperation of hundreds of people. This was "community building" at its best. We are all better people and Norseland is a better place because of the coming together of many people. We were all united and working toward a common cause. It was simply WONDERFUL!!!

Now, the committee needs to clear up some final expenses and plan for the future. There are lots of exciting projects that can be part of this future. First of all, the "Norseland Preservation Association" is in place and will be used as a vehicle to create and support future projects. PLEASE JOIN US!

You do not have to live in the Norseland area to be a part of Norseland. We can use all kinds of ideas, help, support from anyone who has an interest in preserving Norseland. The first step is to create by-laws for our (non-profit)association. This will be done in early fall. PLEASE JOIN US!

Some ideas have surfaced for initial projects. We have many wonderful aerial photos of the parade. One suggestion is to print a calendar. Another idea is to preserve oral histories by using video and interviewing some of our area folks. There are a lot of stories that did not make our history book and oral histories are special - a different way of preserving history. (By the way, we have less than 100 copies of our book left for sale. Contact the Treaty Site History Center in St. Peter if you want to order one.)

Another project could be the preservation of District 6 school building. It is one of the few left in Nicollet County. PLEASE JOIN US!
