LOTS OF HAPPENINGS Yes, I know that it has been two weeks since 1 have written. Even I run out of energy and steam sometimes. Roy is finally back to work and things are getting back to normal. There was an election and I hope that your favorites won. The Town Board will certainly be different without Greg Williams. He worked many extra hours learning the ins and outs of his job. There is a lot of hard work involved in being in a government office. The downtown is slowly taking on an improved look. You’re doing a good job, Budd’s Bargain Barn, Preferred Auto, and the Bowling Alley. If I have missed any businesses, I will mention them in future letters. Omni Medical is going to eliminate the open space that was the old theater. Now if we could get the Chamber to create an obstacle course for the skate boarders that are really causing problems in town. Last week I turned off of Roosevelt onto Illinois behind a truck, when a large boy came flying out onto the street from behind a car on his skate board.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING We Serve Delicious Homemade Lunch Specials Daily

Many a time I have seen the young people going right down the middle of U.S. 6. Parents please explain to your children that they need to obey the laws, for their safety and ours. I did pretty good in not having to fix any meals last weekend. Friday night there was chicken at the Methodist Church, then on Saturday breakfast at Lea's (compliments of the V.F.W.) thanks fellows! Sunday morning we had breakfast at St. Pats. The Fourth of July had a great bake sale on Saturday. Wanda the pies were excellent! Monday night we finally found a live turkey at the sale bam. A man had promised to raise one for us but he had bad luck with his birds, putting us into a small panic. We always cook a fresh turkey for Thanksgiving, along with a large squash that we get from Burket’s Produce. Be very careful of deer on the road. They are very numerous and in love. Just ask Jon and Nita Smith. Their venison cost them about S3O a pound. Keith Dipert is home from his treatments. The benefit for Keith raised over a thousand dollars for his medical expenses. The money has been placed in the bank and will be used for paying his medical bills after they are all in. Anyone who wants to make a contribution can do so by contacting Sandy Thomas. Well I must get out and stir up some more trouble. Sincerely Nedra Williams FESTIVE SOUNDS The Elkhart County Symphony Chorus will join the Bethel College Choir and Choral Society in a presentation of Bach’s Magnificat in D and sing-a-long selections from Handel's Messiah.
