We are so blessed that the educators in Kootenai County see the very strong benefits to offering an alternative to going to a college after high school.

rathdrum: Canstruction is tons of fun for a good cause!
- 12/13/11 07:57 AM
Ednetics decided to do something a little different this holiday. Each year Ednetics, in Post Falls Idaho, has a Holiday meeting with a fun theme. This year instead of giving gifts to each other, the employees decided to do something a little bigger. They bought 21,650 cans of food from the local Post Falls Walmart and Super One. Then the employees split into teams of 4 or 5 to build sculptures out of their cans. Hence the "Canstruction" theme of the meeting. To make the meeting even more fun, the wining teams would also get $500 to apply to a charity … (0 comments)

- 12/01/11 01:57 PM
I want to tell you about what a great day I had today. I was out delivering calendars to friends and past clients. It was so much fun reconnecting with people. As Realtors sometimes we just get caught up in our work and literally do not take the time to stop and smell the coffee. I am resolving right now to go out and spend more time with all my friends and past clients. The day was a great day being out in the neighborhoods driving, no ice or snow on the roads and the prediction is that this weather will … (2 comments)

- 11/22/11 04:52 AM
We have good news from Frontier Ice Arena here is North Idaho but it also means that we in the community have to get to work. A grant for $150,000 has been approved for the new ice rink but we don’t get the grant unless we can meet the Capital Campaign amount of $800,000. Currently, we are short $214,000. The North Idaho area ice skaters really need a local rink to skate at, so they don't have to drive over to Spokane for ice time. This rink would serve Coeur d'Alene, Post Falls, Rathdrum, Hayden and even the Sandpoint areas. The … (0 comments)

Snow did arrive here on the prairie, but with the wind and sunshine it quickly disappeared. I have a picture here of Rathdrum Mountain and as you can see there is bit of snow there.
