or Nancy Shannon at 913.367.6319. As in the past we have adopted a
family or people in the nursing home who have no one.
This year we just adopted the nursing
home people. It was nice to hear that some of them could not believe
that someone remembered them as they usually have no one who cares.
Their wants are so small that we were able to get all of them everything
that was on their list thanks to the generosity of our members. |

We have had a great year for new students.

lessons on the second set. Elections of officers was held in March and
our new Presidents for 2012/2013 will be Joe & Judy Tarwater, the Vice
President is Rhonda Tomlinson and the Secretary/Treasurer is Patti
Steele. Again our club had the refreshments for the Callers Festival and
the Tenderfoot Dance. We again had a good turn out of members to work
and a wonderful amount of pie and good food. Each event was a success
for our Club. Last Christmas we adopted 7 people at the nursing home who
had no one. Some were the same as last year and some were new ones. We
make a big difference in these peoples lives as they know that someone
remembers them. Again our members were generous and we were able to get
everything on the list. |
