HOME AGAIN — Gavin Berg is coming home to Trinity Lutheran Church for a concert Saturday, April 12.


Gavin Berg is coming home — again.

The NRHEG High School graduate will present a “Coming Home Concert” Saturday, April 12 at 7 p.m. at Trinity Lutheran Church in New Richland.

Berg is releasing his debut solo piano album, “Inspire.”

The Waseca County Historical Society's Spring Luncheon-Lecture Series is proud to present writer Elizabeth Dorsey Hatle, author of "The KKK in Minnesota" on Thursday, April 24, from noon to 1 p.m.

We all know about "Minnesota Nice," so what were the roots of the organization known as the Ku Klux Klan, and how did it happen in Minnesota? In addition to the speech and books, there will be an original KKK hood on display.

The back cover of the book explains:

Waseca Soil and Water Conservation District, a local unit of government, has an open position for a supervisor. This is an appointed position until the next general election is held in November, 2014.

This is an opportunity for a citizen interested in natural resource conservation and improvement of our water quality to make a difference in our community’s future. 

The SWCD is governed by five locally elected supervisors who hold monthly public meetings.

Saturday, April 19 is the day to once again help fight cancer in Geneva. 

In January, Whitey Hagen was proud to deliver $100,000 to the Eagles Cancer Telethon in Rochester on behalf of the great people in our area who donated and supported the many cancer fundraising events held here over the past year.

The funds are raised through many different efforts and activities including the yearly cancer auction, the Wild Game Feed and gun raffle, the 51" Plasma HDV Blu-Ray player raffle, along with the "Hot Looks For A Cure" calendar. Don’t forget those great summer events including the Geneva Cancer Golf Outing, the Geneva Cancer Motorcycle Run, as well as the Matt Felt/Dillon Gordon Motorcycle Run. This past year also provided some "hair raising" events including one at the Bend in the Road, as well as money raised from Locks of Love.
