Pat Lunemann presented a check for $3500 to Pastor Brian Birk for Todd County Habitat for Humanity. This is the largest donation to the group so far. At least 30 people donated their time and skills to work on the new Twin Eagle Dairy barn. They spent many hours installing ceramic tiling and sheetrocking and taping.

What do you do when it snows nearly two feet in 24 hours? Several employees at the Central Todd County Care Center did the only thing they could do: they worked. Calls began to come in early Saturday from employees who were unable to get to work. Those who were at the care center stayed. People who came in Saturday morning worked until 10:30 p.m. Saturday night then slept on the floor and worked Sunday.
