POWER HAPPY HOUR A SUCCESS!

Everyone attending enjoyed Scott Welle's message, small town personality, and some quick tips regarding how to not only set but attain your goals. Did you know only 3% of us set goals and of that 3%, 90% fail. He talked about how you're going to show up everyday - that you have to live the execution of your goals daily...have to begin with the end in mind. The presentation was conversational and left us hungry for a little more! Many purchased his books. Thank you to Bison Creek Event Center for hosting - the appetizers were phenomenal!

CITY COUNCIL CANDIDATE FORUM

Come hear what the representatives running for City Council have to say to assist you in making an educated vote. Mayor Teri Lachermeier is not rerunning, and current council member Steve Downer filed to be her replacement. He is unopposed and will have a short message, but those running for 3 council openings will all be in attendance and asked a series of questions solicited by the community. There are currently 8 council candidates: 4-year term (2 seats): Sheila Mobley Crawford, George Fantauzza, Linda Kittock, Jeremy Lehn and Benjy Schirm. 2-year term (1 seat): Owen Clarke, Brady Rathbun and Erin Walsh.
