Welcome

Thank you for visiting our site! We are the Roseau, Minnesota chapter of the Women of Today, a non-profit, volunteer based community service group.  With the support of local businesses, they organize family oriented events for Roseau and area residents, usually with no or minimal admission fees/costs.  The Women of Today are always looking for new projects and welcome ideas on how to improve the community.  We bring to the area events such as the Roseau County Fair Parade, Super Santa Saturday, “Coats for Kids” campaign, and donating back to school supplies, just to name a few.  Please browse our site and discover who we are and what we are doing!

New members are always welcome!  If you are interested in becoming a member or if you have any questions, please email us or write to P.O. Box 15, Roseau, MN, 56751.

Are you thinking of putting in float?  You can make our parade even better! In past years, we have all enjoyed the wide variety of representation from throughout the county.  We encourage all businesses, non-profit organizations, event committees, organizations/clubs, or individuals that may be interested in participating to join us.  Bring a float and enjoy the fun!  It is a great way to have county-wide exposure.

Float line up begins at 4PM at Highway 89 South and Third Street, with floats being lined up in the order of arrival.  There is no pre-registration required.  Judging of the floats will begin at 5PM with the top three floats receiving trophies.  The parade will begin at 5:30 PM.  We will not be announcing the floats again this year, so take this into consideration when decorating your floats and put as much information about you or your group on your float as you can! 

Should you have any questions, please contact Janelle Vagle @ 463-3959 or Christine Sibilleau @ 463-1567.

 

FUN & GAMES at the scandinavian festival

The Roseau Women of Today are going to be at the  Roseau Scandinavian Festival this Saturday, June 19th from 10 am to 4 pm and we are going to have lots of FUN with the kids!

 

father / daughter dance

Dads and daughters came out for a special afternoon they are sure to remember! 

The Roseau Women of Today held a Father/Daughter Prom in May which turned out to be a huge success!  Dads were invited to bring their daughter or daughters to the event which included hors d’oeuvres, desserts, punch, and music.  Corsages were available for Dads to purchase, while daughters were able to pick out a free boutonniere for their fathers.  Many fathers also chose to have a keepsake photo of them with their daughters to remember this special afternoon by.  We had approximately 150 guests were in attendance. 

One of those lucky guests won a mini-pendant diamond necklace, the grand prize - sponsored in part by Kerri B. & Co., while numerous other prizes were donated by Aunt B’s, Book Your Look Salon, Dairy Queen, From Head to Toe Salon, Roso Theatre and Subway.  Music was provided by Wild 102 FM, whereas Doug’s Supermarket helped with the hors d’oeuvres.  We would like to thank these many local businesses for making this event possible, as well as the City of Roseau and the Roseau Public Library for making their facilities available, and the Roseau High School Junior class for the use of their decorations. 

With the impressive interest in Roseau's first Father/Daughter Prom, and seeing such a wonderful turnout, we would love to make it happen again next year!   Proceeds from this event will go towards future family and community events put on by the Roseau Women of Today organization.
