Anamoose, ND

Donna Anderson, our facilitator for the Horizons program, met with us yesterday.  We went through our Strategic Plan (again !) from start to finish, which is 18 pages of projects. 

We have accomplished many things, such as:  more meals on Sundays, a Welcome package for people moving into Anamoose, a Farmer’s Market planned to start in June, empty lots and homes identified and listed, a blog site set us and Anamoose web site continued, 12 people took an Excel Computer class, people informed of happenings in Anamoose by a monthly calendar, Christmas letter sent out that promoted Anamoose, Ana-Day planned for Saturday, June 28th, Blood Pressure Clinics being held once  month at the Anamoose Senior Center, Home Rule Charter set up ready for voting on in June, and an Anamoose Foundation Fund started with our money from Horizons.  We are working on many more projects that hopefully I will be able to blog on in the future.

Schmaltz’s Greenhouse is open for lilies and Easter flowers.  With coaxing, I got Mike Schmaltz and his dog, Rocky, to pose in front of some Easter lilies.  Rocky was more interested in laying on his bench with his BIG ball. 

Mike told he he will be open in April for potatoes and garden seeds.  About May 1st people start coming in for potted plants-of course, depending on the weather.  He has five 3000 square foot greenhouses.  He has about 6000 geraniums started.
