A reminder that the annual membership meeting of the Yellowstone Place Association will be at 6:30 p.m., Tuesday, June 10th at the Cedar House Restaurant in Spearfish. While election of Board members is on the agenda, along with a few other business items, there'll also be ample opportunity to visit with your neighbors and get acquainted with new residents! Coffee and desserts will be available, and we hope to see you there!
YPA residents volunteer at Chamber
Two Yellowstone Place residents were among the dozen or so volunteers honored last week (April 28) by the Spearfish Chamber of Commerce. Joanne Banthin and Karen Miller were among the group recognized by the chamber.
Spearfish Chamber of Commerce volunteers include (seated): Shirley Perkovich, Norma Merkel, Joanne Banthin, and Lyla Peterson. In back (standing): Madaline Custis, Dorothy Sherban, Janet Deegan, Rena Boersma, Ella & Duane Erickson, Rose Anderson, and Karen Miller.
The volunteers assist with a variety of tasks, including -- among other things -- convention registration, organizing and assembling convention packets, preparing visitor information mailings, staffing the visitor center, answering telephones, and providing administrative assistance to chamber staff. Thanks to Marketing Coordinator Melissa Barth for allowing us to use this photograph.

As beautiful as it was, the "Blizzard of '08" wreaked much havoc across western South Dakota and eastern Wyoming. The Rapid City Journal reported that at least 1,500 utility poles were broken -- most of them in rural areas, causing widespread power outages. Utility workers from out of state are assisting area utility companies in efforts to restore service to all customers. Harding county to our north was particularly hard it. And now, some area residents are being advised of a flood watch throughout much of the region.
YPA neighbors Joanne Banthin and Lorraine Collins contributed a number of photos from around our neighborhood. We've set up a special photo gallery that you might enjoy.
Welcome to Spring in the Black Hills
Who'da thunk it? After basking in near-80-degree temperatures during the past week, Spearfish residents awoke May 2nd, 2008 to about two feet of very wet snow and drifts substantially higher. That's good news for helping us gain ground on the drought; however, now much of the area faces the prospect of some flooding next week. This IS South Dakota, so we shouldn't be surprised.
