 BERN VELD thanks friends and family who sent cards for Christmas and his 95th birthday.  He also appreciated the RCWM gift bag and their visit.  Happy New Year!

THANK YOU TO ALL who helped serve this Christmas season.  We saw so many donations for winter items for the children at DeMotte Elementary, Angel Tree gifts for the KVSC fulfilled, spots filled for Salvation Army bell ringing, and service at the soup kitchen with hat and glove donations.  You have been a blessing to many!
