Greetings!!!

Welcome to The Winona House Blog!

We have started this blog so that our family and friends and other LVCers can know whats going on within the greatest house of LVC.

The Winona House is located in Minneapolis Minnesota and currently has 6 housemates: Allie, Lindsay, Michelle, Margarite, Reuben, and Sarah! (Just so that there is no confusion each housemate will be writing on the blog..not just one person..<this is Margarite>)

What is the LVC? (Glad you asked) LVC is the Lutheran Volunteer Corps. We have each agreed to a one year commitment of service at various locations and are living together in an intentional community in one house (Winona)

It is our hope to start a new tradition within The Winona House so that volunteers will always be able to continue to post their stories and experiences!

Today is the first day in our placements and well....The person that is supposed to be getting me started and organized..is late so I figured what a great time to start the blog. For the year we have a bucket list so lets hope that we can accomplish all the things that we set!!
  • May Day Parade
  • Walk on the top of the falls
  • Camping Trip with a sauna shower
  • Cross Country Skiing
  • Broom ball (we are hoping to get into a league)
  • Improv (go see and do)
  • Kick ball League
  • Ice skating on Lake of the isles
  • Polar Bear Club..Yes we plan to take full advantage of this good cold Minnesota weather and jump into the lake... in the dead of winter!!! Doesn't that sound exciting?
The list will more than likely continue to grow as the year goes on.. but hopefully we can accomplish everything we set out to do.

I think the person that is supposed to begin my orientation is here now.. soo again Welcome to the Winona House!!
