Welcome to Nancy Leasman, Todd County blogger

I said the other day we expected to have a new writer posting items here related to Todd County, and you may have seen this morning that we are featuring the first post from Nancy Leasman.

Nancy has been writing for a long time about Todd County, central Minnesota and more for a variety of publications so it's great to have her skills and community connections on tap for residents in this venue. She'll track the Initiative Foundation's Healthy Communities Partnership process but is wide open to other topics as well.

Check out her post on Todd County and healthiness -- What's wrong with aging? -- and join the conversation.

Nancy is the second "community blogger" here on Ground Level. Brooke Walsh started carrying the conversation in Baldwin Township last week.
