Anyone wishing to donate items for the Groundhog Day
Library flea market table (to benefit the continued use of
the library), please leave at the school before Tuesday,
Feb. 1. This will give us some time to sort and mark the items.
Items already collected: craft supplies, books, quilting fat
quarters, patterns, and magazines. Proceeds will be used to
apply for a matching grant for the Library. The Grand
Re-opening will be 8:30 - 12:30, Saturday, Feb 5.
Make sure you put your name in for the drawing and let
us know what library hours would be convenient for you.

Thanks so much to the Andy DeGolyer family for the donation
of exercise equipment and a TV (you know, so you have
something to watch so your body doesn't realize what
you're doing to it!) Come on up and give it a try!
***
How much snow did you get Saturday? 7 - 8 inches here.
How many weeks until spring???

On Jan 30th, please support local Girl Scout Troop 21

founder, Juliette Gordon Low. The trip is May 30 -
June 5, 2011.

Bob & Barb Wilhelm went to Iowa over the weekend to
visit the Scott Hitzemann family. They didn't get there in
time for the basketball game, but they found lots of other
fun things to do. Grandpa gave lessons on installing
faucets and un-jamming disposals, and then there was a
brief discussion on screwdriver safety (similar to the
"don't run with scissors" safety talk held previously.)
