Current Issue

The Dam News September 18, 2024 Vol 86 and this very special issue is dedicated to Carol Galvin who has the most beautiful heart of service for others and also makes the best lefsa hands down!! She has raised over $36,000 for Hospice care over these last 17 years. Please join us at The Dam Bar for the 17th Annual Lutefisk & Lefsa Supper with Meatballs & all the Trimmings at 5pm on Saturday! I had the privilege of capturing her making lefsa and the video is in the paper for you to watch and for which I will always treasure. I hope you enjoy! For those not on Facebook head on over to the website and view by opening the PDF of the paper and you can watch there as well. Thank you Carol for your love and devotion to your communities, hospice care and all those around you. You are loved beyond measure!

The paper each week is full of events and instead of me listing them all, which is impossible I'll be working on the new calendar on the website which will be super cool for everyone to view in the future and will also integrate with other things as I continue to build.

Every day is an adventure and once done my prayer is that it will be an amazing resource for all of you. Everything I do is and always has been is to find ways to help build a bridge between communities, help small businesses succeed and find commonalities and why this paper has a very special mission of it's own. Thank you for coming along on this journey and for your support each week. My heartfelt thanks to you my readers, advertisers, literary contributors, family and friends who have given this mother's healing journey for her daughter a much bigger purpose. One day, one step at a time. Have a wonderful week as we head into the 1st day of Autumn on Sunday!
