1 7 <br /> k •4 <br /> FAMt <br /> M w• <br /> TOM BENZER <br /> } . , A <br /> Volunteer Visit <br /> This summer one of our long time senior volunteers from Buffalo had a stroke. When I spoke <br /> with his wife she said his biggest disappointment was that he wouldn't be able to volunteer this <br /> summer. He has been one of our most dependable and longest serving volunteers and this was a <br /> huge disappointment for everyone that knew him. I went and visited him in Minneapolis at a <br /> rehabilitation center and gave him this shirt and told him we will welcome him back whenever <br /> he is ready. Tina and the Elk River staff signed a card that we gave him. <br /> Maple Lake Councilmember John Northenscold <br /> John passed away on September 1st. He was a big supporter of everything the commission and <br /> SWTV did. He used to show up at our volunteer events and always asked us how he could help. <br /> He most recently was the Grand Marshal in the Maple Lake St. Patrick's Day Parade and had <br /> made a point of thanking us after the event. We can't do this without the support of our city <br /> council members and John will be missed. <br /> Rocktoberfest <br /> Our next trailer shoot is Saturday October 4th in Rockford for the music festival <br /> "Rocktoberfest". Bands include: 4pm Shane Martin, 5:30pm Kat Perkins, 7pm Tim Mahoney, <br /> 8:30pm GB Leighton. We already have volunteers who are excited to help out. This will be our <br /> 3rd year covering the event. <br /> Candidate Forums <br /> We will be recording the Candidate Forum in Big Lake at the school on Monday October 22nd. <br /> This forum is the first event that we ever covered remotely and Gina Wolbeck and her son were <br /> the first production crew members we had. There are certain races that are of interest in all <br /> communities. Delano recently was kind enough to share their Candidate Forum with Monticello <br /> so that residents could see the candidates for Sheriff If you tape a forum or want a copy that was <br /> recorded in another city please contact me. <br /> 3 <br />
