Main Street News: January 9th

Last week we took the time to honor the people who put their life on the line every day for our safety. Monday, January 9^th is recognized nationally as Law Enforcement Appreciation Day. In our community, we thought this was a perfect time to recognize not only the local law enforcement, but all first responders. Both the local ambulance crew and fire department work very closely with the police department. Thank you to not only these fine folks for their service, but everyone who wore blue and joined us for coffee and goodies in their honor.

This week we get to thank all of our wonderful volunteers and members at the Annual Meeting. We will meet at VFW on Wednesday, January 18^th at 12:00 noon. Our program wouldn’t be where it is today without such a great force behind us.

We are very fortunate in this small community to have such great people to call neighbors and friends. These friends are people we have learned we can rely on and trust to make this community the best it can be. The Main Street Program also relies on our friends to keep providing fun events and elements to beautify the town. That is why we created the “Friends of Main Street” Program. In the past, we had individual and couple membership levels for our program. We realized the benefits of that program were mainly focused towards organizations and businesses. Our Friends of Main Street will not only be recognized in various publications, but you will also be invited to attend the annual meeting in January and receive 2 VIP tickets to the Community Picnic. The cost is $20 per family and can be sent to the Main Street Program at PO Box 550, Barnesville MN 56514. If you have any questions or want more information, please contact me at 354-2479.
