It's never been easier to do good. The modern day convenience of debt and credit cards now makes it effortless to give back and Finding Windom is a part of it. You can now sign up your card to round up to the nearest dollar to be donated directly to your favorite town--Windom. We have teamed up with Swipegood, created by Windom Area High Alumnus, Anthony Nemitz.
I couldn't be more excited because anyone who knows anything about trying to sustain a mission to do good things will know that much needed fundraising can be time consuming. In fact, it takes a lot of time and energy to do fundraising and this time and energy would better be spent conquering the mission at hand and reaching goals that really make a difference. With the help of Swipegood, the mission of Finding Windom can be the focus instead of fundraising. Isn't that amazing?
Click on the Swipegood icon and you can get started today or visit https://swipegood.com/charity/finding-windom.
It has never been easier to support your favorite cause or easier for us to get more done to make the community a better place to be.
Sign up today!

i'm bored.
The famous two words when used together that drove my mother absolutely nuts: I'm bored. I didn't dare say it growing up, I knew I would get a ridiculously sarcastic reply that sounded just as ridiculous as the two words "I'm bored."
Well, today I got to thinking even more about the theatre project we are trying to work on and how I can't wait to see that theatre all shiny and new again, not only for the pleasing asthetics it would provide our beloved square, but for the kids in our community who utilize it the most.
The group of students who work at the theatre have an absolute unconditional love for this theatre. They would do and are trying to do everything they can possibly do to see it be successful and see it all shiny and new. They see so much potential in that theatre even without knowing all the joy it brought the many generations before them.
The theatre provides a positive gathering place for them. A place where memories they will have for a lifetime will form and shape who they are in years to come. We need more of these positive gathering places for our youth. We don't want them to ever say these ridiculous words, "I'm bored."

public service announcement.
I know we really haven't had the ideal spring for outdoor activities yet, but just because I have to get outside, I've been taking a lot of walks lately. Henrik enjoys the view from his stroller as well--he makes the perfect walking partner. I can't quite explain the feeling of being able to truly enjoy the outdoors after a long snow covered winter. It amazing how something so familiar can feel so new again. Unfortunately, the spring also unveils a mess!
Spring is the perfect time freshen up the place. Like I have said from the very beginning of this journey, small changes can make a big impact. There is no better time than spring to search for those small things that can make the community look a little better. Melted snow uncovers trash, dirt, and dull paint. It's time to start spring cleaning! It is definatley my favorite time of year--spring clean up. It is a great opportunity, especially when the city provides such a wonderful service of free trash pick up coming soon at the end of April and beginning of May, to start fresh. Take advantage of this great city service!
And Finding Windom doesn't want to waste precious time just cleaning up the place, there is too much fun stuff to do instead, like plan Community Pride Day and spreading awareness about our support local campaign, The Little City That Would. We aren't a cleaning service, we are on a mission to make the quality of life in Windom even better...
