Halloween dance, waffle breakfast
Thanks to the great ladies and gentlemen who worked so hard to make this year’s Kid’s Outerwear Fair again this year. These folks collect warm clothing all year long to be dispersed out to our friends and families here in Chisago Lakes at no cost. They really don’t know the impact they are having on these families who may be down on their luck currently. Between the outerwear fair and the free community meals just to name a few, this community never ever ceases to amaze me with its generosity.

Awards night for a great group
I had the opportunity to attend the Chisago Lakes Area Community Foundation’s annual grant ceremony at Wild Mountain last Thursday night. The group has been around for a while now, but is truly making a difference in our community. This year the non-profit was able to hand out just over $37,000 in grants to deserving local groups to be used to better our community. They are such a special group that only has the best interest for the community as their goal. Thanks to all the women and men who give their time, fundraising abilities and hard work to make the foundation so great.
