May meeting
The monthly meeting for May was well attended despite Cary's unsuccessful attempt at getting anyone from the Belle Plaine school board to be a guest speaker.
Sandy from the Scott county DFL joined the meeting and shared information on upcoming events for the DFL. As a group, the Belle Plaine DFL people chose July 28th for the day to try and cover the DFL booth for the Scott county fair. The shifts need a minimum of two people and last 3 hours. Previous years the building has been hotter than the hubs of hell so it is a truly generous donation of ones time for those willing to commit.
Also the Scott county fund raiser is a golf/dinner event on Aug. 5, a Sunday.
Belle Plaine BBQ days was also discussed and is in July but political groups are not allowed in the parade, only before and after and in the bicycle ride. Tim Lies mentioned this year the bike ride should be much improved due to roads opening that were previously under construction. Anyone interested contact the Farmer Lies family for further details, I believe he said it begins at 8 am so people are in town in time for the parade.
After the meeting 4 foolish DFLers and David Bly set out and removed the trash from the ditches for our adopt a highway section. I also found 3 wood ticks that hitched a ride on my being but otherwise the weather was beautiful and other finds were uneventful.
Until next time- Gert

April meeting cancelled
The April 14th meeting is cancelled since Coop has a class to attend and it is so cold outside the garbage collection will be postponed until May.
Cary is trying to secure a guest speaker for the May meeting about the Belle Plaine school referendum.
If you have written a letter for the soldier box send it directly to me and I will put it in the box. Today I added a DVD of the Three stooges, my favorites ,Curly, Larry and Moe. Anyway the box is getting full and I will be sending it out some time this month.
My address is G. Wessel 23665 Xanadu Ave Jordan 55352.
If you have kids that want to draw pictures or send letters- the more the merrier.
Bye for now- Happy Easter everyone. Gert

Support our troops
My family is sending a package to our soldiers fighting in Afghanistan. If anyone is interested- what the soldiers request the most is letters. Address your letter "Dear Soldier" and Larry, the army soldier who will be receiving our package, will hand out the letters to one of the 42 men in his group. This group is from Missouri, many from rural areas and will be there until March 2008.
It is suggested that you include an email address if you want and just write a simple letter about yourself the way you would to a friend.
This group also said they like movies and games so we are sending some DVD's and decks of cards, cribbage board and stuff like that.
Place your letter in an envelope and write "Any Soldier" on it and I will include it in our box.
I am hoping to mail it out after our April meeting. Gert

Spring is in the air
As the weather turns warmer the Belle Plaine DFLers will be soon on garbage collection for our strip of highway off 169. We have plenty of time before our deadline of June 1st. Hopefully at our next meeting in April, if the skies are clear, we can head out and get the job done.
Also if you haven't checked out Al Franken's web site give it a once over at www.alfranken.com.
