Peaceful Schools - Bill Medlicott
Thunder Ridge students at Eldorado Elementary are halfway through their year. Finished with 2nd graders. Now they start with 1st graders in January. Everyone has fun, even the teachers.
Hometown Holiday was a success. Special thanks to the Keyton's for pulling it all together. Unfortunately, I didn't capture enough photos. The Leeper's (Rudolph and his Elf) were a success with the kids and had many photos taken. My apologies to the first batch of Interact students who missed having their pictures taken. I did capture Karla Olsen with the second group.
The Holiday party just keeps getting better and better. Our musical talent rocks!! Thank you, Bob Larson, for such a success! And thank you Phil Calderbank for providing a video of the event, please check your email.
Sadly, the photo does not capture Rose on the keyboard and Joe on the guitar.
And he didn't even sing!!??
Family of Rotary Concerns
Our prayers and best wishes continue for Christine, Zig's wife, as she continues in remission. It was great to see Gary Dani and Tim Sparks at the Holiday party. Gary is doing well after a difficult back surgery and Tim is continuing to face issues with his back.
