REAL SERVICES NEWS Our site received the award of the month from St. Joseph County REAL Services for increasing the number of dinners served. Friday’s Father's Day program was enjoyed by over 70 seniors. Lou Ragu, from South Bend, assisted by Fred and Ted Church and Iva’s two granddaughters. Sarah and Jessie, really proved again that man’s best friend is the dog. They showed how a dog can be trained to assist a person in a wheelchair by retriving dropped articles and fetching needed things. Marty Malstaff was tied in her chair and one of the dogs untied her. A wag of Lou’s finger was all the dogs needed to obey his wishes. Four lucky fathers received gifts, they were Amel Schultz, Chuck Steinke. Charlie Long and Fred Church. Iva raffled off a homemade cake and some strawberries and the proceeds will be used for an ice cream treat when we picnic at Jellystone Park on July 12th. The men. being the honored guests, were served first and we all enjoyed the roast pork and dressing and the strawberry shortcake. Hazel Schweder was in charge of

WOMAN'S CLUB ENJOYS TRIP Members of the GFWC Walkerton Woman’s Community Club took a trip to Berne, Indiana, on

Friday, the 16th of June. They visited the Mennonite Church, were entertained with an organ recital and were given a tour of the beautiful building. Berne is an old town, founded by Mennonites in 1852 and named after the capital of Switzerland. The church was built in 1910 and seats about 1.850 people. In addition to Sunday School rooms, it has a staff office, a choir room, radio control room, chapel, library, kitchen and a prayer and council room. Their weekly attendance averages 780. The group also visited an Amish home with a small bakery where they bought homemade bread, rolls, pies and cookies. Lunch was at the Yodeling Village, a Swiss restaurant where a delicious meal was served. They then had time to look through the crafts section and do some shopping for souvenirs. The last stop of the day was for a tour of the home of Gene Stratton Porter, in Geneva. Indiana. Porter wrote "Girl Os The Limberlost", "Keeper Os The Bees ”, "Freckles", and "The Harvester" as well as 16 other books. "The swamp was her playground, her laboratory and her inspiration", the brochure which we brought home said. It was also her subject for many of her fiction books. Porter died in an auto accident in 1924. She was 61 years old. The weather from the club's trip was gorgeous and the companionship was great. It was a fine way to end the club’s season. There will not be another meeting until September.
