School board receives honor

WELCOME — The congregations of the Circle of Faith parishes are reminded that their annual meetings that were postponed last weekend will be held the same times this Sunday.

Ceylon’s St. Peter Lutheran will be after their 8:30 a.m. service, while Trinity in Welcome has its annual meeting after its 10:30 a.m. service. Waverly Lutheran will have its meeting at 7 p.m. Sunday.

Congratulations to the Martin County West School Board, which received an award from the Minnesota School Boards Association for participation of more than 300 hours by the majority of the board.

Also, board president Steve Olson received the President’s Award and a certificate for 20 years on the school board.

Let them know you appreciate the work they do for the communities of the school district.

Hats off to the Welcome post office crew who were inundated with boxes of mail from three days because there was no rural mail delivered Friday and Saturday, no mail delivery anywhere Saturday because of the snow storm and then because Monday was a holiday. Some rural mail was delivered after 6 p.m. Tuesday. Let them know you appreciate their extra effort.

Next week will be the last week in January. I always think if we can get through January then we are sort of over the hump for the winter. It may be a little early to look for signs of spring. Hopefully we will have better spring than last year.
