libraries have something for the kids to keep busy

Nappanee LULLABABIES The Nappanee Public Library lap-sit program continues on Tuesdays in November for infants ages 9 to 23 months and their care givers. This high-energy group meets on Nov. 1, 8 and 15, from 10 to 10:30 a.m. and gives babies and caregivers the chance to interact with each other through songs, finger plays, rhymes and more. Designed to match the shorter attention spans of the little ones, Lullababies is lively and entertaining; not a 'sit still and listen' kind of program. Moms, dads, grandmothers, grandfathers and baby-sitters are welcome. Bring a special little one and share this great story time activity designed just for them - and for you. For more information or to register, call the Nappanee Public Library at 7737919, or go to www.nappanee.lib.in.us.

GEISER COLONS Navy Seaman Recruit Seth D. Geiser, a 2005 graduate of Northwood High School, and Kyle R. Collins, also a 2005 North Wood graduate and son of Vicki R. and Lee A. Collins of Nappanee, recently completed U.S. Navy basic training at Recruit Training Command, Great Lakes, 111. During the eight-week program, Geiser and Collins completed a variety of training which included classroom study and practical instruction on naval customs, first aid, firefighting, water safety and survival, and shipboard and aircraft safety. An emphasis was also placed on physical fitness. The capstone event of boot camp is "Battle Stations." this exercise gives recruits the skills and confidence they need to succeed in the fleet. "Battle Stations" is designed to galvanize the basic warrior attributes of sacrifice, dedication, teamwork and endurance in each recruit through the practical application of basic Navy skills and the core values of honor, courage and commitment. Its distinctly "Navy" flavor was designed to take into account what it means to be a sailor.

Submitted by Don Borger Next week we will have Dennis Mishler in costume, telling us all about the Civil War and what the soldiers had to put up with and go through during those perilous days. This is very interesting and exciting program and one that all of us will be interested in. This would be a good program to bring your friends to. Last week the program was brought to us by two folks from ' the New Hope Farms, a group of people who rescue and attend to the needs of abandoned and neglected horses. It was a very interesting and emotional report on their attending to the needs of these animals. They spend a lot of time and money in helping the horses and are always interested in talking to anyone who would like to help, either physically or monetarily in their work. They showed a number of pictures of their "children" and some of the work they have done for them. The meeting on Oct. 4 was opened by President Jeff Kitson by ringing of the bell, we all sang "America," and the invocation was offered and the meeting was opened to a full house. President Jeff welcomed two Interclubs, one from the Goshen Sunrisers and one from the Warsaw club. Bill Fales was our greeter, the sheriff was Phil Evans and Mike Sheetz again entertained us with his trivia. The winning ticket for the 50/50 was held by Lou Bonacorsi but he failed to draw the Joker from the pack. The sl3l was held for the next week's drawing. Bill Fales announced that the first meeting of the season of the K-Kids club would convene that day and all members were invited to attend. This is a group of elementary age kids sponsored by our club.
