Choose This Day...

With memories of Brother David Hirschi . . .

As Bishop said in church, "Please . . . no empty seats."

Goodbye My Friend

For those of you who are not aware, Brother Dave Hirschi passed away yesterday morning (Monday, October 5, 2009). While this is bittersweet for many of us, I am sure that Dave is rejoicing in his reunion with his beloved spouse.

The viewing for Brother Hirschi will be Friday from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. and Saturday at 10:00. His funeral will be on Saturday at 11:00 a.m.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Bill Hirschi Family, Mike Hirschi Family, Jolynn Davis Family and other members of the Hirschi family who have traveled to our ward during this time. We love you all.

Dave, you will be missed but not forgotten.

From Kay Williams

Hey guys I have a Whirlpool Duet front loader washer (6 years old) that runs but seems to have an intermittant problem, probably electrical, where it sometimes shuts itself off mid-cycle. It also occasionally fills with water after the cycle is completed. If anyone wants it I am giving it away. If you know someone that could fix it it would be an awesome washer! I talked to a repairman at Dennings who said it would most likely cost $75-200 if he fixed it.

Pack Night for our Cubs

Tuesday night was pack night for our Cub Scouts and what fun we had. We started out with not one but two graduation/Arrow of Light ceremonies. It was awesome to see Nathan Gerdes and Zach Jensen accomplish so much and be an example to the younger cub scouts.Zach Jensen and Nathan Gerdes with their graduation skins.

We then had a kite derby where we made paper bag kites, grocery bag parachutes, Bowman's were there to talk a little about "real" kite flying AND don't forget the homemade root beer floats. Yum yum!!

I wish my camera could take good night pictures because it was wonderful to see all the kids running around with their kites, and actually getting them in the air (the one night we actually wanted a breeze in Salem and there wasn't a wisp of one) . The sun was just setting and you could see the kites up against the red sky. What fun!

Our ward also earned the Summer time pack award which is a national award given by the scouting program. We held pack meetings all summer long and had great attendance. Yeah for us!!!

Back to School Night

Yep, it is that time of year again....Back to School Night.

This year the back to school night is being held on Wednesday, August 26th.

For Kershaw Intermediate School it begins at 7 p.m. and for Central Elementary School it begins at 6:30 p.m.

Another year, another chance to get to know our kids teachers and schedules. Plus I always love the opportunity to visit with other parents.

You keep me from getting lost....

Thank you to all who cheer me on...who keep me from getting lost.
