—Elly Mailhot photo
JO SCHMITT and her six-week-old twin girls
Finley and Bailey were guests during Deerwood
Bank’s open house last week. The girls were
given a red stocking by Santa.
On Monday, Jan. 5, the
Cuyuna Range Women's club
will meet in the meeting room
of the Jessie F. Hallett
Memorial Library at 1 p.m.
The program is a very
special one, entitled ‘The
Miracle of the Mustard Seed’.
The ministry of this wonderful thrift store, and it's partner, Salem West, will be
described by the store manager, Deb Selk and volunteer
Kristy Tesdahl. This is a
presentation you will not
want to miss. Located in
Deerwood, this shop serves a
wide area and it will be truly
exciting to learn what all the
volunteer efforts accomplish.
It is very deserving of its
incredible reputation.
A favorite musical duo,
saxophonist Chuck Hagberg,
and pianist Sally Mann, will
collaborate on performing
"winter songs" to lift our New
Year spirits.
The brief business meeting will be chaired by president
Myrna
Nelson.
Refreshments will be served
by the committee of Betty
Brager, Sally Mann and
Cindy Wewers.
All Cuyuna Range area
women are invited to attend
this meeting and encouraged
to join the Women's Club.
