Star of the North
For four decades, the Star of the North state newsletter has been an integral communication tool of the ACDA-MN state organization. From the first issue in 1972, which was written, typed, mimeographed, stamped and mailed by Wayne Kivell who served the dual roles of state president and editor, to our new 21st century exclusive on-line issues, the purpose of the newsletter has remained the same...to inform, to enlighten, and to inspire its readers.
