Jackie is a very fired up and vocal member of that house, and gave us a great run down of the activities she has become connected with. She has taken a good, active part in the activities of our state government. It was good to have her with us and let us in on what goes on in the Indiana Statehouse. We feel we are well represented in that body and hope she will be able to make herself heard on the programs in which she has taken an interest. Good program! Last week's meeting was opened as usual by President Jeff Kitson, we all sang "America" and our guest speaker offered the invocation. We were pleased to welcome an interclub from the Triton Kiwanis Club, including Lt. Governor Bill Kaiser. Bev Fales announced that the Indiana District Kiwanis was selling sweatshirts of different designs as a fundraising project and suggested we look over the sample she had to show with the idea of purchasing them to wear at our outdoor activities such as the Apple Festival, etc. We would be promoting our connection with Riley Hospital and other activities. Sounds like a worthwhile project for them and for us. Letter to the Editor * To Our Friends ‘ -* £ - ” We would like to thank everyone for their prayers, thoughts, calls, visits, cards of encouragement, gifts, and generosity over the past several months. We would like to thank Tracy Miller, Mike Leman, Bryan Bellman, Todd Hundt, Danny Miller and Greg Miller for their work in putting together the benefit and to everyone who participated in it. God has blessed us with many friends and we cannot express enough what you all have meant to our family. May the Lord bless you and your family as he has ours. Have a great Christmas and again, thank you. Tracy, Portia, Micah and Gabi Knoblock Letters of appreciation will only be printed when they involve topics of broad community interest.
