Hi Everybody,<\/p>\n

Wasn\u2019t it nice having rain?\u00a0It even smells good!\u00a0One fellow said,\u00a0\u201cI just sat in my car and watched it rain\u201d.\u00a0I saw two young boys who were drenched and riding bikes in shorts & tennis shoes \u2026\u2026 they were smiling!!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Thursday evening people enjoyed Summer Nights on Central with food, fellowship and music, a great combination.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The COVID Delta Variant is rearing its ugly head.\u00a0Our state and county numbers are rising at uncomfortable rates and people are being hospitalized. Booster shots will be available soon for people who have had the Pfizer or Moderna vaccinations.\u00a0Statistics show vaccination is effective against the virus.\u00a0About 90% of those hospitalized are not fully vaccinated.\u00a0It seems the best mitigation is a vaccination; please consider getting yours.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There was a nice crowd at the VCSU Football Scrimmage with Minnesota State Community and Technical College, Fergus Falls (MSCTC) Thursday night.\u00a0Many players from each team had multiple snaps and a great opportunity for the MSCTC kids and coaches to see the beautiful VCSU Campus and Facilities.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In case you haven\u2019t had a chance, go by and see the VCSU Center for the Arts Building.\u00a0It is state-of\u2013the-art and beautiful.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Tom Heller, CEO of MRES, presented at our last commission meeting.\u00a0He noted that Valley City has a residential cost per 1,000 KWH, an average monthly usage, of $87.25 which is the lowest cost compared to many in our area.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Fun fact \u2013 protecting our environment, Valley City\u2019s power supply is 93% CARBON FREE!!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Thank you to contributors again this week.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cIt doesn\u2019t make sense to hire smart people and then tell them what to do; we hire smart people so they can tell us what to do.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0(Steve Jobs)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Blessings, Be Respectful, Be Kind and Pray,<\/p>\n
