A Few 150th Anniversary Updates

We are excited about all the guest returning to sing with the choir on October 20th. Our lunch at noon will be an opportunity to show them hospitality and have fun visiting. Please check the sign-up list across from the office to help with the lunch and participate in the 150th in a  meaningful way. There is also a sign-up list for other events which need monetary support if you feel called to do that. Many folks have signed up for their portraits, but we are only about halfway to having it 100% participation.

Bonfire Again!

Last night (October 5), we had a great party, but no bonfire due to the weather.  So, we’re going to do it again!  Next Saturday, October 12, at the Whitakers’ place, 5pm-8pm.  Please spread the word.  As before, bring lawn chairs, games, snacks to share, guitars, whatever you think is needed to make a good bonfire.  Here are the directions again:

The Whitakers’ house is on County Road 3160, east off Highway 72. Look for the power substation as you turn left. Go a little over a mile. House is 12001 on the left up a long driveway. There will be some balloons on the mailbox.
