Anamoose, ND

I attended an excellent workshop, Rural Community Forum, yesterday at Bismarck at the Heritage Center.  Many communities shared their stories about reusing school buildings, community operated businesses, using local foods & starting community endowment funds.  Annette Schilling, ND Tourism, also talked on Learned Based Vacations. 

The facilitator, Cher Hersrud, in introducing the Community Foundation Funds topic, stated “If I ruled the world, every town in ND would have one”.   Patricia Bowen, Ellendale, stated “People can give back to their communities”.    This topic was of great interest to me since we just started an Anamoose Area Community Fund.   We have over $13,000 so far.
