And You, Bethlehem, in the Land of Judah, Are My No Means Least Among the Rulers of Judah; for from You Shall Come a Ruler Wh “And you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are my no means least among the rulers of Judah; for from you shall come a ruler who is to shepherd my people Israel.” --Matthew 2:6 The Ministry, Program, and Preschool Staffs of Good Shepherd United Methodist Church wish you all the blessings of peace, joy, and hope that our loving God sent into the world… wrapped in swaddling clothes… and lying in a manger. Merry Christmas! Dear Friends, We are so grateful for the friendship and love that we have experienced here at Good Shepherd. As we finish another year of service, worship, and fellowship together, we pray that the joy we share as we gather around the manger will put spring in our step and a smile on our lips as we live our faith among people who struggle and seek meaning and hope.

    est Central Electric December 2019 Vol. 20 No. 8 Oh, Christmas Tree! Cutting Your Own Page 8 Keeping Good Cheer: Holiday Safety Page 12 GENERAL MANAGER’S REPORT Let Me Introduce Myself... As the new general manager at West Central Electric, I thought I’d take this opportunity to introduce myself and give you a little of my background information in this month’s report. One of the most telling things about me is that rural electric cooperatives have always been a part of my life. My father’s first job out of college was as a secretary at Moreau-Grand Electric Cooperative in Timber Lake, S.D., where I spent the first 18 years of my life. Through the years, I watched my dad work his way up until he became the general manager. I don’t know how many annual meetings I’ve attended, but they started before I was in kindergarten! I also remember that during severe outages, my dad left our home for work. One time in particular and during a blizzard, I remember a lineman coming to get him in a tracked Bombardier. As I watched him leave and go down the street, I remember thinking how neat that was. It wasn’t until I was older, that I realized just how serious the situation was. Anytime we have members and livestock without power, it’s all hands on deck until the Jeff Birkeland, CEO lights are back on. I also suspect I was like a lot of young men who idolized their dad and wanted to [email protected] be just like him.

  • CIDER PRESS December 2020
    CIDER PRESS December 2020 Time Moves Us On In 1959 our Grandfather and Father came up from Palisade to New Castle to purchase an orchard and hayfield to expand the fruit operation that they had in Palisade. At that time, they never would have imagined that the farm would become a Mobile Home park. But I-70 came through and times change. The property was changed from a farm into a community. As we grew up in the business, we never imagined that life would be any different. But as we have aged and life changes have continued to press in on us, we find ourselves again at another crossroads in life. We have made the leap to pass the community on to another operator. We did a lot of work and asked a ton of questions to narrow the options to someone who represented that they would take care of the community in a positive way so that we could feel good about who we passed the responsibilities on to. Of course, we can never know all that might happen in the economy or in life, yet time moves on relentlessly, so must we. It has been a difficult process for us as we have grown up alongside many of you and interacted with some of you for 30 or more years. We want to thank you all for being part of our life and we will pray and encourage the continuation of a healthy community here. We are going to continue to live in the area and be part of the valley that is home to us.

  • Black Friday and Christmas Preview 2017 a Report Looking at What We Can Expect from Black Friday and the Online Retail Christmas Trading Peak in 2017
    Black Friday and Christmas Preview 2017 A report looking at what we can expect from Black Friday and the online retail Christmas trading peak in 2017 A report researched & compiled by IMRG, supported by INTRODUCTION – A SETTLED PEAK PERIOD? When we talk about Christmas peak in retail, these days we tend to mean Black Friday. Or at least the Black Friday period, to be more accurate. There are other peaks of course, but that’s become the one that really matters for many. It’s been fascinating to watch this event evolve over the past few years. The scale of it is so huge that it appears to be a bit uncontrollable. Its character changes, the period it covers extends (might it contract again?), tactics and strategies adapt to suit this new format of peak trading. And therein lies part of the problem. It’s such an important time of year for sweeping up a share of the huge (albeit, often discounted) spend that goes through the virtual tills that the approach retailers take does seem to have become a bit safe; a bit uniform. We’ve had 3 years of this new format peak trading now and the first year (2014) was a bit traumatic. Retailers don’t want to (indeed, can’t afford to) miss out on having a successful peak, so they do what seems to work. Andy Mulcahy But – and it’s a big but – this thing doesn’t ever seem to settle into Editor, IMRG a reliably predictable pattern. It’s shown a remarkable capacity for evolving in size and scale each year and the opportunity for innovation is absolutely ripe for those who find clever ways to stand out against their competition.

  • You've Unlocked BLACK FRIDAY & CYBER MONDAY Marketing Tips!
    BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: You’ve unlocked BLACK FRIDAY & CYBER MONDAY marketing tips! By Kat Dessenon and Dan Gingiss www.persado.com | [email protected] 1 INTRODUCTION It’s the most wonderful time of the year – for retailers and bargain-hunting shoppers, that is. The four days in late November that encompass Black Friday, Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday are often make-or-break for retailers in terms of hitting or exceeding annual sales goals. According to the Canadian e-commerce company Shopify, merchants on its platform collectively generated more than $1 billion US in sales during those four days last year. Put into further perspective, buyers were placing orders at a rate of 2,800 per minute and spending $1 million per minute at the peak of Black Friday. The top three shopping categories: Apparel, Accessories and Housewares. Overall, according to Adobe via TechCrunch, last year’s Black Friday was a record-breaker for online sales in the U.S. – to the tune of $5 billion. Cyber Monday was even bigger for online sales, which makes sense given its digital focus. Adobe says that it was the largest online sales day in history with sales coming in at a whopping $6.59 billion. Another incredible statistic: Adobe projects that online sales will increase nearly 15% in 2018 to $124 billion during the months of November and December. And which marketing channel drives the most conversions? With apologies to Mark Twain, the reports of email’s death are greatly exaggerated. Email actually led all channels with a conversion rate of 4.29% last year, according to Shopify.
