The Windom Area Hospital Auxiliary held their Annual Spring Banquet last night. The Auxiliary took some time to reflect on all the successes they had in the past year such as recruiting new members. But according to President Mary Klosterbuer (Kohl sta burhh) there is ALWAYS room for more. Mary went onto say there are two ways to be a member. ACTIVE members are people who attend monthly meetings and volunteer at most events. Active members are the backbone of the Auxiliary. There is also an ASSOCIATE membership which are people who support the Auxiliary mainly through dues and donations, but don’t wish to attend the monthly meetings. Becoming an associate member is a great way for anyone and everyone to financially support the work of the Auxiliary, and in turn the hospital. Membership is only $20. If you would like to join or would like to get more information on the Windom Hospital Auxiliary, you can either call Kim Armstrong, Windom Area Health Director of Foundation and Auxiliary at 831-2400 or call Mary at 831-3142. Currently there are 43 Active members and 26 Associate members. Mary said the ultimate goal would be to not only increase Active memberships but to get the Associate membership number up to 200.

The Minnesota Department of Transportation will conduct aerial mapping of several locations in south central Minnesota this spring. The mapping will create a record of existing infrastructure and landscape along, and adjacent to, MnDOT right of way for transportation planning and operations. This work must be conducted after the snow has melted and before the trees leaf out.
Work will begin in mid-April, weather permitting, on Highway 60, from Saint James to Butterfield
MnDOT crews will paint large white “X” targets on paved road surfaces and place fabric “X” targets on unpaved surfaces and outside of public right of way. A survey crew then records the coordinate position and elevation of these targets and provides that information to the aerial photography company. The targets are temporary and will be removed when the photography is completed.
Landowners in affected areas will receive a letter from the local MnDOT office with detailed information about the targets. MnDOT requests that landowners not remove or disturb the targets until the photography is completed.
If a target must be moved, please contact MnDOT District 7 survey staff at 507-514-1932
