Casey Haarstad, daughter of Paul and Terri Haarstad of Victoria and a 2012 graduate of Chanhassen High School, was one of 30 students who participated in Art and Culture Days at Coe College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The event was part of a national service-learning initiative called "Communicating Common Ground." As part of the program, 30 Coe students worked with 110 fifth and sixth grade students to increase multicultural awareness and improve self esteem through communication instruction.

Victoria Brownie Troop 15044 assembled 150 sandwiches for The Sandwich Project of Minnesota at their May meeting. The Sandwich Project distributes sandwiches to the homeless and food shelves in the Minneapolis area. The troop needed to do a service project and this is the organization we decided to help. The sandwiches are turkey, bologna, and cheese. They were delivered to a drop-off location. Volunteers deliver them to shelters. The troop funded the project with proceeds from their holiday boutique and cookie sales. All of the girls are from Victoria.
