All who are able to attend the Tyndall city council meeting to help support the Horizon’s project in establishing the Round Up program please meet at the City Council room January 7, 2008 at 7:45 PM. Hope to see you.
Since Horizons began, it seems like more people in the community are aware of the need to help those who are disadvantaged, especially now during the holidays.There already is an existing culture here in Tyndall of helping those who need help, but sometimes there are a few who slip through the cracks and don’t know where to go for assistance. The establishment of the Bargain Shoppe, for an example, is one big way to provide assistance for those who need to spend less, and also for those who just want a good bargain. Right now, the Shoppe committee is working on getting the word out. A flag has been placed by the door to alert people that they are open for business and also an ad and flyers have gone out to the communities surrounding. Now the goal is to get the word out farther. I think this new endeavor is a huge commitment by the Horizons volunteers who started it and with the support of the Cavalier Corner and the City of Tyndall it will help reduce poverty in our area and show that we mean business. What do you think? Let us know.
USDA Rural Development in South Dakota awarded a $61,800 loan and $10,900 grant to the City of Tyndall to purchase a building and renovate it for a youth center.
