Humane Society Coming to Wahpeton

Wahpeton is getting a Humane Society. A staff working at one of the group homes is on the steering committee for this project and has asked a lady she works with to be part of the committee too. She will be responsible to attend meetings, assist with fundraising and banquets. She is very excited to participate in this project as she loves animals.

Extreme Makeover - Wahpeton Style!

Wahpeton will be expanding by 4 in the near future! A local family is expecting quadruplets this May. The community has decided to pitch in and assist with a makeover of their home to help accomodate their growing family. Many people and merchants in the community have volunteered their services or goods to this project. RRHSF staff and individuals decided to pitch in by supplying baked goods and treats for all the volunteers. A staff and a person recieving supports went to the home of the family on 2/9/07 to deliver the goodies. They both got to meet the mother-to-be and wished her luck in the coming months. The mom thanked them both for brining the goodies over for the workers .

What a great way to be part of our community and give to others in need!!!
