Have you got all your apples picked?

80 families were served at the Food Bank distribution last Friday. Those helping distribute items were Cheryl Scholl, Steve Kroese, Galen Crawford, Mary Wallen, Margaret Wertman, Dale Henke, Craig Kimbell, Roger Griepenstroh, Bob Wilhelm, and Elliot Gonnella. The community thanks you for your dedication.

Last week we shared a photo of a cross, made from a tree at Hopewell. We have learned that Russell Hull is the artist. 

Chris Kimbell was surprised with a birthday party at the gym this past weekend. Lots of old friends and neighbors attended. It was good to catch up with everyone!
