KEDA Update

Greetings again from Minnesota's Vacation Paradise. The changing of the seasons is always anxiously anticipated here, and after a long winter, the arrival of spring takes on an acute awareness. But all of the signs are here - the return of the seagulls and robins, the beginning of river fishing, the lengthening days - and the unmistakable rhythms of spring bring a renewed optimism.

With this spring newsletter, we'd like to share with you a number of projects that are in progress here in Koochiching County and International Falls. Even in this difficult economy, there is significant investment in our area and we are anticipating that dirt will be moving soon.

Our "Meet the Locals" feature, Randy Pozniak has many opportunities to visit La Cabana Beach in Aruba but continues to reside in International Falls because of beautiful Rainy Lake. Randy enjoys some of the same outdoor activities on "Rainy" as in Aruba…well, maybe on a smaller scale. Fishing, boating, beaches and islands are just a few things both locations have to offer.

Randy Pozniak

Local Certified Public Accountant (CPA) Randy Pozniak sees the best of both worlds spending time on beautiful Rainy Lake and breaking up the winters with travels to Aruba. Serving as Treasurer on the Corporate Board of Directors for Casa Grande Resort Cooperative Association in Aruba allows Pozniak to extend his love for outdoor activities to a warmer climate. Pozniak enjoys fishing, boating, hunting and other outdoor activities which are possible in both climates.
