\"\"Valley City\u00a0 (Chamber 5-10-21)\u00a0 On Monday, Valley City Mayor, Dave Carlsrud has issued a new weekly message to residents<\/p>\n

Hi There,<\/p>\n

We have certainly had a variety of weather here!\u00a0In places like Arizona, weather has very little change, comparatively speaking, so we have many more opportunities conducive to discussing weather.\u00a0Can you imagine how boring it is watching weather forecasts in those places?<\/p>\n

It has been nice enough to be out enjoying the good air and some sun; I hope you have been out there.<\/p>\n

Sue and I have been walking quite a bit, her more than me of course.\u00a0\u00a0Anyway, there seems to be less litter and more drivers yielding right of way to pedestrians in crosswalks.\u00a0Kudos to you who are helping. \u00a0You DO make a difference.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A request.\u00a0Someone is continually throwing banana peelings on the west hospital boulevard \u2026\u2026. If it is you, will you please refrain from the practice?\u00a0Thank you.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We have many amenities in Valley City, the Gaukler Wellness Center, swimming pool, libraries, parks, golf courses and great schools to name a few.\u00a0\u00a0We are a smaller community and don\u2019t have resources to be as independent as some may like.\u00a0Perhaps partnering can help solve some of the challenges.\u00a0Sue and I partner with our neighbors, sharing yard work, mechanical challenges and security.\u00a0We are not very mechanical, but we can mow lawn for our neighbors and they help us with some mechanical projects. Take a little time to visit with your neighbors, you may be pleasantly surprised and find some partnering opportunities too.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Al LaFave, VCSU President; Josh Johnson, VCPS Superintendent; Bill Carlblom, Barnes County Commission Chairman and I as Mayor meet once per month to share needs and discuss ways in which we might utilize partnering.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our Ministerial Association is another example of partnering.\u00a0You get the idea.\u00a0Larry Robinson says, \u201cLet\u2019s join hands, the answer is somewhere in the middle\u201d.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our City Employee Appreciation Night was held Friday evening.\u00a0We are fortunate having the employees we do; they do great jobs for us.\u00a0Thanks to each of you.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

COVID-19 Vaccine is making a difference.\u00a0Our CCHD has vaccine on hand and welcome walk-ins for vaccinations.\u00a0To minimize your time, please call ahead, 845-8518.\u00a0Having immunization is comforting.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cKindness is a language the deaf can hear and the blind can see.<\/em><\/strong>\u201d \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>(Mark Twain)<\/p>\n
