Dr. Allen and his family left on Tuesday the 21st for New Zealand. They are scheduled to arrive on the 23rd, as NZ is 19 hours ahead of Minnesota time…..that’s 25 hours of flying — wow!
Thank you, for picking up litter and debris along Highway 65 last night!

This holiday season, all three of our campuses are once again drop sites for Toys for Tots! Toys for Tots donations will stay within Kanabec and Pine Counties.
Did you know?
Toys for Tots began in 1947 when Major Bill Hendricks, USMCR, and a group of Marine Reservists in Los Angeles collected and distributed 5,000 toys to needy children. The idea came from Bill’s wife, Diane. In the fall of 1947, Diane handcrafted a Raggedy Ann doll and asked Bill to deliver the doll to an organization which would give it to a needy child at Christmas. When Bill determined that no agency existed, Diane told Bill that he should start one, and he did! The 1947 campaign was so successful that the Marine Corps adopted Toys for Tots in 1948 and expanded it into a nationwide campaign.
