Attention Parents...There is an informal email list for Gustavus employees who are parents of young children to share information about schools and childcare, and to borrow equipment, among other things.

Plugs


Seeking Volunteers...The Nicollet County Trails Association, a non-profit group that puts on the Mills Pond Haunted Hayride in Saint Peter each year, is looking for volunteers. They need people to be narrators on the Haunted Hayride wagons for five nights in October (October 18, 19, 20, 26, and 27). If you are part of a nonprofit club, the association will donate to your club as a thank-you for your help. Volunteers that are not narrating are welcome to scare in the woods at one of the over 25 different scenes or take on one of the other staff roles. If you have questions, contact the Nicollet County Trails Association at 507-327-6523..
