Great job!!! Thanks to all who volunteer their time to give back to the community!

Fun Had by All

On March 9th and 10th, ten people we support and two staff from the ISLA/SLA programs traveled to Seven Clans Water Park and Casino in Thief River Falls, MN.

Everyone had a blast on the waterslides and spent the evening in the casino playing the slot machines. No big money won but some of them came out ahead in winnings. It was a good time for all!!

Actors among us

At lenten services on March 1st, two people supported by RRHSF in Fargo greeted our CEO and stated that they were very excited about being actors in the evening's Lenten Drama. They told him about all the fun they were having and about the new friends they were making.

During the drama, they did a wonderful job of acting and said their lines right on cue. There were 300-400 people in attendence at the service. Our CEO stated he was very proud of the involvement these two people had in the service as well as the meaningful relationships they were making with people in the community.

A special Thank You to Bonnie Snyder, a direct support staff at Svee in Fargo, for making this acting opportunity a reality for them! Good Work Bonnie!!
