Greetings from the City of White:

The American Legion Post 88 Community Breakfast, which was scheduled for tomorrow (Sunday, 15MAR2026) has been canceled for this weekend due storm which is working its way across the region. They intend to see if there is a possibility for perhaps this coming Sunday, 22MAR2026, so please be on the lookout for further updates on if that will become reality.

Stay safe tomorrow during the storm, and travel only if absolutely necessary as the streets and roads are going to be extremely difficult with the wind and blowing snow anticipated.

The City will work on getting our streets cleaned off after the snow and wind dies down late Sunday evening or early Monday morning.

Stay warm out there.

Be well,
Mayor Lagerstrom
