===========================================================
From the
Duluth Budgeteer
Meet Morgan Park neighborhood hero Lucille Kolberg.
Lucille is a member of the Arrowhead Council.
Every neighborhood probably has that one person that is always stepping up to the plate to get things done.
Well, in Morgan Park we have several; but when it came to choosing a neighborhood hero,
the unanimous decision was Lucille!
Lucille is a hero without even trying. Without ever giving it a second thought, she steps in to help in every way she can. From her daily neighborhood walks with daughter Brenda as Citizen Patrollers,
to adding her special touches to one of our community gardens,
she is an inspiration to many in our close-knit community.
With a smile and a word of greeting to folks she already knows,
and a friendly welcome to those few she hasn’t met yet,
Lucille fills every day to the fullest, making a difference wherever she goes.

We invite you to join residents from across Duluth at the
“Connecting the Dots” showcase and assembly Saturday, Oct. 4,
at the First United Methodist (Coppertop) Church,
 as we celebrate the neighborhood heroes in Central Hillside, East Hillside, Lincoln Park, West Duluth
and our own Morgan Park neighborhood hero Lucille Kolberg.

* The Qwest Pioneers is a group of employees and retirees of Qwest Communications
that is part of the larger volunteer organization named Telecom Pioneers,
 which has chapters throughout the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
The Pioneers work on projects that affect the communities in which they live and work and the
Qwest Pioneers contribute more than 1 million hours of service each year.

Every March the Pioneers collect donations for the food shelves;
this year they even held a spaghetti luncheon and employees volunteered their time to prepare and serve the meal.
Coopers Dent Clinic in Duluth and Erosion Control Specialists of Cloquet/Esko donated $50 in gas cards
that were raffled at the event and $482.25 was raised, which was split between CHUM and the Union Gospel Mission.
Another chapter, the Arrowhead Pioneers, also donated $400 to the Duluth food shelf
and $200 each to the food shelves in Hibbing, Grand Rapids and Virginia.

The Arrowhead Council, which is located at 322 W. First St.,
also continues it’s work on its “Hug-a-Bears” project. Volunteers donate time and materials to create bears
 which are distributed to the police department, fire department and hospitals to help comfort children at time of crisis.

WHAT ARE THE ODDS????
In 2005 Gloria Berger (former Arrowhead Council President) made & donated a quilt to be raffled for the March Food Drive that Melrose Bldg Qwest employees, Qwest Pioneers & CWA 7214 participate in.
The quilt was won by Qwest Pioneer Becky Koivisto. There was no raffle in 2006 but in 2007 Gloria had a friend from the group she plays cribbage with make a quilt for the March Food Drive in exchange for lap robe tops Gloria made.
Becky Koivisto won that quilt also.
Gloria also helped one of her cribbage friends sell some raffle tickets in 2007 for quilts from the Queen of Peace Church quilters in Cloquet. There was a queen sized quilt & a baby quilt both in the same raffle. First name drawn got the queen quilt & second got the baby quilt.
Becky Koivisto won the queen quilt. Becky was very excited about this as she was married at the Queen of Peace Church in Cloquet many years ago & her son attended kindergarten there before they moved closer to Duluth. The baby quilt was won by another of Gloria's cribbage playing friends she had sold a ticket too.
Tickets from the cribbage group were turned in weeks before the Qwest sold tickets. The Church quilters made over $400 with tickets $1 each.
So WHAT ARE THE ODDS of Becky winning all 3 quilts Gloria got involved in raffling. And WHAT ARE THE ODDS that Gloria would sell both winning tickets for the 2 quilts in the same raffle?
   If you are interested in getting involved with the Qwest Pioneer sewing projects we would like to hear from you. If you have any kind of material (either remnants or yardage), batting (either fill or quilt), thread or yarn that you would like to donate please give Gloria a call at 218 726-5309 (please remember calls must be kept short as this is a # at work). If you have a good working sewing machine you would like to donate please call.

If you have other interests & would like the Pioneers to get involved in them contact Gloria so it can be discussed at a Council meeting -which you would be welcome to attend on the 3rd Wed of each month in the Melrose Bldg.
