They have voted to support the small baseball field that is being redone after the flood of 2007 and will be holding a fund raiser for this effort.

During Minnesota City Day in May of 2011, they will host a Dad's Belgium Waffle breakfast.

GBDRF recently finished a landscaping project in the Gunderson Addition off County Hyw 23. They dug up dirt, filled in new dirt, leveled ground and planted grass seed on lawns of the residents. This was done to replace the results of flood water damage from the summer of 2007.
