Rolette, ND

The American Legion Thursday nite bingo is getting out of hand.  The pot is big and so is the crowd. They need people to be floor walkers, help with clean up,  bingo card sales, and the concession stand. The Legion does so much for the veterans and their families and not to mention how much they support our students.  If you are free for the next thursday and want to help. Please contact Gordy Boucher; lets help them have a great great bingo nite for all they have done for us; our community and our country.

I attended the Sr. play last week.  It was very entertaining.  “Birds of a Feather” showed off the Sr. class talent.  I am sure the parents of the cast members knew they could be “dramatic” but the rest of us were very impressed. There were 3 showing.  I attended the evening show and as far as I know things went without a hitch. 

Congratulations to Cast and Crew.  And congratulations to Mrs. Walsh for another successful Sr. Class Play.

How do you teach the children about money?  This is hard to begin with but if you have poor management skills to begin with it is even harder.  This Horizons group, thanks to the efforts of Janie Jung, Pat Beaver and the local school are going to tackle this problem.  Janie found the game “Cash Flow” and brought it to the director asking the group to purchase it and she would teach it to the children.  Pat Beaver volunteered her family to be the guinea pigs over Easter weekend; and thank goodness she did. The game is more involved then the advertisements lead you to believe.  Janie then took the game is and hooking up with the 21st century/ boys and girls club to “play” the game after-school at the school.  This will give the kids a snack, and Janie a stipend to play it with them. So all are happy so far! We will keep you posted.  I, personally, plan on playing a few rounds to try and pick up some better habits.   May I will be the next millionaire in Rolette…… wait maybe I would be the first….Ha! Ha!
