Have you ever had something very exciting to share with an entire community? If you did, how would you do it. We chose to do it in a parade. A simple approach to launching a totally new online media company called DigElogROCORI. It was lots of fun! Featuring video clips from the 2005 St. Boniface Parade and the ROCORI Band.
In
our first week of 2010, DigElog ROCORI would like to take a look back

In 2008, the Hollywood film Milk was released. The film received tremendous critical success as well as many awards including eight academy nominations (winning best original screenplay and Best Actor: Sean Penn). In the stories below, you will get the chance to hear the story of Gerard Dols, a ROCORI native that has ties to the film Milk. Although many people have denied that the minor character in the film was based on Dols, his story is still an interesting one. Be sure to watch all four of our stories with Dols and also be sure to stay tuned to DigElog ROCORI all week as we continue to bring you our favorie stories from 2009.
Just
over a month ago, DigElog ROCORI had the chance to interview a local
connection to the film Milk. Growing up with severe disabilities in
Richmond, Gerard Dols contacted Harvey Milk (the main character in
Milk) in regards to potentially running away to California.
Shortly
after Dols moved to California, Harvey Milk was shot and killed. It was
at that time that Dols began to do a great deal of soul-searching. He
realized that he wanted to make a change in his life and opened his
heart up to Jesus. In this final interview with Chaplain Dols, he
discusses his re-birth and what he is doing to make a difference in
others' lives.
In our first full week of 2010, DigElog ROCORI would like to take a look back at some of our favorite stories of 2009. Today we would like to feature a wonderful story about the students of Cold Spring Elementary raising over $10,000 for the Pennies for Patients Program. As part of the students reward for their fundraising efforts, their principal agreed to shave his head and eat earthworms. Click the video below to see for yourself!

I just wanted to let you know that I received a couple messages about your You Tube video.
I watched it, and it was so fun to see the worm eating and head shaving! I visited Cold Spring Elementary a couple weeks ago to deliver a banner (they placed #4 in the whole state!) and express the thanks from patients and staff at The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society for the school community's support. Results and the photo are at our site (www.schoolandyouth.org/mn/results). Thank you for your involvement!

In our first full week of 2010, DigElog ROCORI would like to take a look back at some of our favorite stories of 2009.

Stay tuned to DigElog ROCORI all week as we continue to bring you our favorite stories from 2009.
The Cold Spring Area Chamber of Commerce and Rich Spring Golf Club hosted their annual Chamber Golf Tournament fundraiser on July 10, 2009.

You’ll also hear from Chamber Board Member Tony Nathe. Not only were there golf games, but throughout the day Nathe conducted a trivia game where participants could win extra door prizes. Check out all of the highlights from this fantastic fundraiser.
