Community Calendar

In this hands-on class, participants will explore grief through a creative project that will incorporate elements from nature into a decorative remembrance candle. Symbolism of these elements will serve as a teaching tool about loss and resilience. This virtual class is free and open to the public. Registration is required by Nov. 19, so arrangements can be made to pick-up class supplies. In some cases, the packets/lists may be mailed.

We have a large variety of beautiful one-of-a-kind craft items, popular vendors and a silent auction. Lunch is available. Proceeds from this fundraiser are used for various American Legion Auxiliary projects involving our troops, veterans, children & youth and community service programs. Call a friend and join us for lunch and a fun day of shopping!

The emotional effects on a birth parent who places their child for adoption can often be overlooked. As one of our efforts to honor and support birth mothers, Dakota Hope Clinic is collaborating with Christian Adoption Services to provide a safe place where women can gather to share their experiences and be encouraged by others who understand what it is to place a child for adoption.
