Create



If you missed our HFPE Meeting Tuesday night or if you were there and would like to watch the video I showed again, here it is. I LOVE this video. It reminds us that we are all creative and have talents.

Over the last few weeks I had the RS sisters fill out a sheet containing the talents and gifts they think each sister has. I handed out everyone's list to them at the meeting. If you missed it please see Sara for your personal list. I thought it was so neat how unique and special each of us are.

Dawn Renee West

Our hearts and prayers are with the West family. There will be a short memorial service for Dawn this Saturday at 10:00am at the church followed by a private family graveside service. Please respect the family and keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

Jennifer Theetge is collecting photos and written memories of Dawn to compile into a remembrance book for the children. If anyone has any photos or other things to include please give them to Jennifer. If everyone could write down their memories of Dawn so the children can remember her life and what kind of person she was, I know they will treasure that.

Free Yoga Class

Hi. We had a fun yoga class last week at our enrichment activity. The instructor told us that they hold a free weekly yoga class open to anyone in the community every Saturday morning at 10-11:30am. It is in the red brick building next to Fifth Third bank on Main Street (across from Zeigler Pharmacy). I talked to Sarah who went last Saturday and she said it was a really good class. They also offer paid classes other times and days for $10 to $12.
