If you have had the opportunity to enjoy the 2014 improvements to the Memorial Park area beside the New Richland Post Office, you will notice the growing number of engraved bricks being installed. The improvements have added a sense of reflection and peace as you enjoy the scenery of the mural from donations of many, the bench in honor of long-time firefighter Tom Bruzek and the many bricks that have been donated by families remembering a loved one.
Orders continue to be taken for the bricks. They are $100 with your choice of wording, with or without any artwork. The money goes into the Mural Fund which will be used for continued upkeep and improvements to the area. If you wish to order a brick, you can do so by stopping up at City Hall and filling out a form or you can contact Gail Schmidt at (507)-383-1147.
If you have not had the opportunity to visit the area, it is hoped you do so.

As the New Richland Area Foundation continues to provide grants to various organizations, city departments and the NRHEG schools, it is also about growing the fund.
The fund has grown from $13,929 to $434,713 in just 5 1/2 short years. The NRAF is administered under the family of funds through the Waseca Area Foundation, an affiliate community fund of Minnesota Philanthropy Partners.
Though this year’s granting dollars available was $15,000, the NRAF grants committee continues to be challenged with requests of more than $35,000 each year. Therefore it is our plea to request the community’s help in growing the fund so that more dollars become available to grant each year.

In a special meeting of the NRHEG school board on Thursday, July 2, board chair Rick Schultz named Dr. Dale Carlson as the committee’s recommendation for interim superintendent to replace Dr. Dennis Goodwin, who resigned as of June 30.
The committee was appointed at the June 15 board meeting and immediately advertised for a replacement.
“We received seven applications in response to our advertisement. We reviewed all the applications and interviewed who we felt were the top two candidates.”
Carlson comes with 30 years of education experience (the last 20 in administration), most recently seven years as superintendent of schools at Holmen, WI, where he also served on the board of the Holmen Area Foundation.
