donnelly news

June 23^rd-30th

Welcome to another edition of the Donnelly news. 

Since everything from community events, to church activities, have been postponed or canceled due to the Coronavirus, I have decided not to list any circumstances for the foreseeable future. Before you plan to attend any regularly scheduled events and/or meetings, i.e., rendsville 4-h, fire dept., city council, community club, etc. please check to make sure they are still on. Since everything is constantly changing, please listen to local media and /or check fb posts for any updated info. Some of the meetings may be held virtually instead of physically. Also, some Donnelly business may be temporally closed, have reduced hours, limited services, access, etc.

Weather News: It is getting very dry out we have not had a good rain for some time, but crops look good so far. Many farmers are busy spraying, putting up hay, etc. We finally got a good rain shower on July 18th

Church news, some churches in the area are beginning to open up. GSLC -Morris has limited services inside Sundays at 9 a.m. and Wednesday at 7 p.m. at the church. Also, on Sundays at 10:15 a.m., there will be a worship service outdoors. All three services will be the same. At 7 p.m. on Wednesdays, there is outdoor worship at faith- Morris.

Please check with your local church for what their plans are. A reminder that you will find virtual services, devotions, etc. on fb, YouTube, local access channels church websites and the radio for many area churches

No decision has been made about the fate of this year's threshing bee yet, if you wish to express your opinion on it, please contact one of the officers.

Due to COVID 19, many of the parades and community festivals our threshing bee royalty regularly attend during the summer have been canceled or scaled back

I have brought my news box back to McCollar's Jewelry, and I will hopefully be coming up to Donnelly more frequently in the future to check my box in the PO.

The Rendsville 4-h club is looking for volunteers to weed/maintain/water the rain garden in Donnelly by the fire hall as they are unable to do it themselves due to COVID 19. Thanks to the members, advisors, and parents for all the hard work they have put into making Donnelly look beautiful this year.
