(This will help us plan how much candy to purchase and allow us to give you the line-up / meeting details).

Hoping many of you will be able to join us.

Thank You...

Thank you to everyone who helped make our annual hot dog and brat stand a success. Thank you to Mike and Julie for all your planning - to Midtown for having us every year - to all the volunteers (you would be surprised how busy a hot dog stand can be...) and to everyone who stopped for lunch or ordered delivery. It was a wonderfully busy day and the best way to share it with those who couldn't make it... Pictures.

The Future President and BEST helper out there. (It's all about Teamwork - Mike...)

A Dangerous Combination at the Info. Tent...

Carefully coloring a pinwheel - putting on the finishing touches.

Keelie - don't even think about taking a picture of me right now...

Volunteers Needed...

... and a Wonder from My Youth.

Being involved in sports in high school brought my attention to a small town - Janesville (and having family that lives in the area). Traveling to Mankato - in the Big 9 Conference - created a wonder for many of us. Every time we would near Janesville, the bus would begin to buzz, and the older athletes would being to share the story of the doll in the window. I am surprised the bus never tipped over for once we hit Janesville - all individuals were on the right side to catch a glimpse.

My parents grew up in the area and had their stories to share too.

I am sad to share - it sounds like the doll will be finding a new home...
