💚 We are so grateful for the continued generosity of Wendy, a Valley on Columbia resident who has made it a summer tradition to give back to our students and families. 💚

For the past couple of summers, Wendy has organized a donation drive collecting laundry supplies, household essentials, personal care products, and quarters for our Giving Tree Pantry.

Wendy truly has a giving heart, and we are so thankful for the time, thoughtfulness, and generosity she continues to pour into our community. Her kindness helps make sure students and families have access to the everyday essentials they need.

Thank you, Wendy, for continuing to make a difference! Valley Senior Living

The August issue of the Red Cent Community will also include an article written by Amanda SILVERMAN Kosior (GFC '98) on her Crazy Day memories.

What do you remember about Crazy Days? We'd love to hear things like: Did you work downtown during Crazy Days? What was it like? Which downtown stores did you always visit? Who did you usually go with? Did Crazy Days mean back to school was just around the corner?

Comment below or email us at [email protected] and we may feature your response in the August issue!

Photo from the University of North Dakota archives. "A view of downtown Grand Forks during Crazy Days on August 4, 1969. Numerous pedestrians walk on the sidewalks and in the street. A Ferris Wheel is seen at the end of the street."
