Another new year has arrived and with it comes another Geneva Cancer Auction. We probably should have gotten this in last week’s issue, but most area people know that the Geneva Cancer Auction is always held the second and third weekends in January each year.
For those who don't know, the 31st Annual Geneva Cancer Auction will be held the weekends of Jan. 9 -10 and Jan. 16 -17 in Geneva at the Geneva Bar & Grill.

If you attended the benefit breakfast for little Isaiah Schutrop on Sunday, December 7th at the New Richland City Hall you were given as well as giving a gift. It was a big smile from a strong little boy who, along with his family, is dealing with a difficult medical situation, and thanked everyone for coming and donating to the event.The New Richland Lions Club, which numbers 31 members, were busy from 7 to 12:30 making and serving scrambled eggs, pancakes, French toast, sausage, orange juice, milk and coffee to the approximately 400 hungry attendants.There were three tables filed with roughly 100 items for the bake sale. People had made and donated lefse, pies, cookies, bars, breads, candies and many other delicious items to purchase, take home and later enjoy.

Except, of course, that Friday will be the last day. Established in 1985, the Village Inn has been a gathering place and general watering-hole for the rather unique little community that is Hartland. We join others in thanking Judy for her years of hospitality and providing a center for a living community. - Details

“It’s been a while since we’ve done a big evaluation,” began NRHEG School Board chairman Rick Schultz Monday evening at the Media Center in New Richland.
He spoke to a group of about 15 guests plus faculty and administration, gathered to participate in a discussion of the improvements to school facilities the board has been considering for the coming years.
The meeting, following a similar meeting in Ellendale the previous week, was also attended by representatives from ICS Consulting and Wold Architects, who are working with the board to create an improvement plan for the district to address a number of issues, some of them of high priority.

When Santa Claus comes to Geneva on Saturday, December 13th for his yearly visit, the local children will also be able to play Bingo prior to his arrival.
Those who attend this yearly event will be able to also sign up for two door prizes, one for a girl, and one for a boy, hoping to be the lucky one chosen as the winner, if they haven't already been lucky winners playing bingo.
Prior to Santa’s visit, starting at 1 p.m., Warren Torgerson will call 20 games of Bingo and the children attending with the winning numbers will be able to call out "Bingo!" and will be able to pick a gift of their choice until all the prizes are gone.
