Beyond the Yellow Ribbon

Renville County is beginning an effort to create a Beyond the Yellow Ribbon Program.  This starts with a steering committee of which I am a part.  The Beyond the Yellow Ribbon Program unites keys areas within a community to create a comprehensive network that connects and coordinates agencies, organizations, resources and employers for the purpose of meeting the needs at the local level of Servicemembers, Military Families and Employers across Renville County. If you would like to get involved in this project you are invited to a meeting on Thursday, May 10 at 5:00 at the Olivia Armory.  If you would like more information please contact me.

Jayson Rothmeier

Congratulations to Jayson Rothmeier for achieving his Eagle Scout Award on Sunday, April 15, 2012.  Jayson’s project was the Beautification of Flag Park in August, 2011.  He organized over 114 hours of work.  A job well done to Jayson, his parents, Dan and Carol, his mentor, Travis Lubitz and the many others who assisted him in his journey to become an Eagle Scout.  Olivia is certainly honored to be home to the Rothmeiers who now have the unique distinction of being a family with three Eagle Scouts.  Kudos to everyone involved in this effort.
