A letter from Pequot thanking us for ENE's contribution to this springs fundraising.

 

Josh!  I want to once again thank you for your performance at the 2010 Eagle View Elementary Spring Carnival.  You were certainly one of the big highlights of the evening.  It was a crazy night with over three times the number of people we had planned for.  In years past they had 300-400 people.  We had well over 1,400 people at the event!  Thank you for making our event extra special.  I hope that we can schedule you in for next year’s carnival too.

Sincerely,

 

Janet Hennies, Spring Carnival Chair
Katy Krieger, Spring Carnival Silent Auction Co-Chair
Kristin Larsen, Spring Carnival Silent Auction Co-Chair

Joshua,

I was told that you might need some people to be in a movie about beards that you will be working on this summer.  My beard club (we're based in Lansing, MI) would have many volunteers, and I guarantee you that I would love to be a part of it.  Let me know if you still need people.

Mayor's Notebook: Help these four friends reach their dream

By Nancy Adams

Just when we think things are quieting down in our area, something comes along that makes life interesting and stirs up ideas and dreams.

Several months ago in the Echo, there was an article about four friends who were pursuing their dream of making a feature length film. Recently, I had the pleasure of meeting Joshua Trujillo, one of the four and a longtime resident of Pequot Lakes.

Some of you may know Joshua from his days as youth director at Our Savior's Lutheran Church, others from The Warehouse in Pine River, or even back in the days when he was at Pequot Lakes High School starting the We Jugglers program that went out to teach drug-free messages.

As I mentioned, Joshua and his friends have the goal of producing a funny, family-friendly film called "We Jugglers" that will star and employ local actors and musicians, but also carpenters, electricians and more.

They plan to begin filming in the summer of 2010 in Pequot and the surrounding areas. They are in the process of raising their proposed budget of around $1 million and have a 20-page business plan to assist with this effort.

It is their belief that the success of this film - think "Napoleon Dynamite" meets "Dumb and Dumber" - will provide not only the foundation for future film business in our area, but also funds that will be used for local social issues. Joshua and his friends have truly thought out their plans; they dream, but their dreams have taken root and are ready to fly.

All they need is our support -and while they are looking for some donated office space, most other desires don't cost money, they just take a few moments of time.

Check out their Web site at eneflix.com or e-mail Joshua at josh@eneflix.com.

You'll be pleased that you did ... and Pequot Lakes will be also.
