| Deb Peterson receiving $2500 check from Tom Rafferty of Verendrye Electric. |
The Ryder Community Club could not be
happier says Community Club President Deb Peterson. Tom Rafferty presented her
and the Ryder Community Club a check for $2500 from the Operation Round-Up
program of Verendrye Electric Cooperative. Deb said this would make the final
payment to Main Electric for the electric hot water boiler in the Ryder
Gym. So if you have ever wondered what
Verendrye does with the Operation Round-Up money they collect, this is your
dollars at work for the betterment of a community.

celebrating her 96th birthday.

Family and friends gathered together to help
Evelyth Wohlk celebrate her 96th birthday on New Year’s Day. Those
present were Darci and Clarence, Justin and Julie Behles; Darla and Derrick,
Dillan, Dannican and Deven Rasmussen; Lydell and Wendy Wohlk; Heather, Matt and
Lucas Schoenborn; Heidi and Brian, Dalton and Triston Walsh; Nathan and DelRae,
Lanie, Nia, Jetta and Jaeda Wohlk; Mable Ike, Joan Bynum; and Gloria Carbogal.
Dinner was enjoyed by everyone, especially the cake brought by Gloria. The afternoon
was spent visiting and playing the annual bingo game. Evelyth still lives by
herself at the apartments in Garrison.
Two weeks ago, Pastor Chuck and Jill
Galloway attended a hockey game in Minot to watch their oldest grandson Noah
Galloway. Noah plays on the Junior Varsity League for Century High School.
Last weekend, the Galloways were at Lake
Metigoshe for a spiritual renewal retreat for the clergy and their spouses.
This was a gift from the Prairie Rose Parish. They also had a chance to travel
to Rolla and visit with one of Chuck’s cousins for the afternoon.
Looks like we will have 6 more weeks of
winter as the sun was shining here this morning and if we had a ground hog, I
know he would have seen his shadow just like Punxsutawney Phil saw his this
morning.
Don’t forget the first Friday (Feb. 6th)
of the month and that means there is BINGO at the Ryder Gym at 7 p.m.
Have a great week and remember, spring is
just around the corner and they are forecasting more nice weather in the weeks
ahead.
