On Monday, November 3, the Eagle Valley FLA traveled to Staples to attend the Fall Regional Meeting. The meeting was held for all the members of the Region 6 area. They attended special sessions to learn about the different things FLA is about. There was a speaker who talked about being yourself and to always do the smart thing. He later entertained with his band. There were 11 members that made the trip.

Eagle Bend School students will have an opportunity to take good long looks at original works of art created by Artist in Residence Patrick Redmond. Under a newly developed plan, Redmond will display a different example of his work each week in a location near the school’s cafeteria where most students will find it convenient for viewing.
