Weekly News Article
For the week of December 3rd
Hello All, I’m getting ready for Santa to come. I’m digging out the Christmas CDs, baking gingerbread cookies and trying to find the Christmas bulbs I bought last year. Thank you to the guys who hung the Christmas lights in Willow River on Saturday afternoon. It was a totally voluntary deal. They look great!
Star sent me some good news. There will be a craft show Saturday, December 8th from 9 to 1 pm at the Willow River School in the old gym. If you'd like to be a vendor contact Star at 218-565-0062 or starmikrot@yahoo.com and have a fabulous day. That is the same day as Fun with Santa at the school. So, there will be a lot of fun things to see and do. Thanks Star for always keeping me in the loop with the craft fair information.
Fun with Santa is coming soon…so mark your calendars for December 8th. Santa and Mrs. Claus will be there to take pictures with the kids young and old. So, remember to bring your cameras. There will be lots of fun crafts for the kiddies, and a cherry bowl, bake sale, breakfast, and a raffle drawing for a Moose Lake Day's Inn Pool Party for 10 or a 1 night stay at the Moose Lake Day's Inn King Whirlpool Suite. Fun with Santa is sponsored by the Willow River Community Club.
Bill Peel sent me some info to pass along. They have a Public Meeting scheduled on Thursday, December 6, 2018 for the World's Best Workforce presentation. The meeting will start at 5:00 pm. Anyone is welcome to attend. More news from the School: The Gold Medal Curling Team will be visiting our school. It is being hosted by the Willow River Area School. This exciting event will be held on Wednesday, December 12, 2018 from 1:30 pm – 2 pm. Put December 10th on your calendar for the Winter Band/Choir Concert at 7pm in the auditorium. If you are interested in going to a PTO Meeting the meetings are the 2nd Tuesday of each month at 6:30 pm in the Board Room across from the Elementary Office. New members are always welcome. Upcoming meeting dates: December 11th.
The First United Presbyterian Church in Willow River is hosting a fun event. They are once again hosting a holiday arrangement “Make and Take”. It is $10 per arrangement. They provide the greens, dried naturals, embellishments, bows. They have containers or you may bring your own container. Come have some fun and leave with a beautiful decoration. The dates and times are: December 3rd from 4 – 7 pm, December 4th from 1 – 4 pm, and December 5th from 4 – 7 pm. What a wonderful idea. Also, Senior Dining is every Thursday at noon at the Willow River Presbyterian Church. The delicious food is delivered piping hot from Bruno. The conversation is always interesting. There are menus posted at the Laundromat and the Post Office in Willow River. The Walking Psalms Bible study meets every Tuesday evening at 6:30 in the Presbyterian Church Fellowship Hall. Everyone is welcome to join at any time.
