Harvey, ND

The Harvey Area Community Foundation has been established with the assistance of the ND Community Foundation.  The board members threw a “kick-off” event at the First Lutheran Church on December 9th, 2007.  This coincided with the Centennial Singers event.  The ministerial association did a free will offering to raise funds for the association.   Anyone interested in more information should contact Kim Moen at kim@harveynd.com or 701-324-2000.  The money raised and put into this fund will stay in the community.

On September 15th FCCLA kids collected food for the food pantry. They listened to speakers at the Harvey High School and watched the Pursuit of Happiness. After the movie, they took boxes and blankets to the football field to camp outside for the night. At 6:00 in the morning, they all had muffins and hot chocolate. It was a great learning experience and many FCCLA students got to know what its like to be homeless.

So this summer the choir class is going to be taking a trip to chicago. We are taking a charter bus the entire way, and a lot of things await us in Chicago. We will be leaving on May 28th, and coming back early June. We will be attending loads of fun activities, including museums, parks, malls(heehee), water aquariums, a medieval dinner, we will be attending a cubs game, and even going to see the play “Wicked”! We are fund raising to help us out financially. We have sold tickets for a February calendar raffle, and are having a spring pops concert on the 24th of February. So if you don’t have any big plans, plan to attend the pops concert, and don’t forget to come a little early to support us with our soup and sandwich lunch beforehand to fund raise for FFA, FFCLA, the choir group, FBLA,ect. It should be a good time!! We hope to see you there!
