WELCOME!

Beyond the Yellow Ribbon Southeast Minnesota is focused on serving and supporting service men and women and their families who are currently serving on Active Duty or are in the National Guard or Reserves. No matter what branch of service, we are committed to helping those service members who live in Rochester, Olmsted County and the surrounding Southeast Minnesota region. Our motto is simply, "Serving Military families living in our midst."

Beyond the Yellow Ribbon Southeast Minnesota is part of the Minnesota National Guard Beyond the Yellow Ribbon Network. This network helps connect schools, local units of government, law enforcement, social services, churches, civic and volunteer organizations for the special needs of a military family before, during and after deployment. For more information about the Minnesota Beyond the Yellow Ribbon Network, go to www.btyr.org.

Fishing with minnowsOn Sunday, July 18, 2010, our wonderful group from Beyond The Yellow Ribbon Southeast Minnesota got together with several area military families, and we fished!

MinnAqua helps us fish!This event was also attended by helpers from MinnAqua, a statewide education program designed to teach angling recreation and stewardship as well as the ecology and conservation of aquatic habitats. MinnAqua brought poles, reels, games, prizes and lots of excitement to our event. Thanks!

Dave Senjem and Jim KehoeHere, District 29 Senator Dave Senjem and our Fishing Coordinator Jim Kehoe appear to be discussing the one that got away!

We received generous praise for our efforts, and we will definitely offer future events that are designed to bring together and support our military families. Our EVENTS page offers the next fun activity!
