Thank you Will and Gretchen Zitterich for hosting our Fall Fire Festival.  We had a great turn out, the fire was awesome and the conversation plentiful, the only thing missing was a full moon.  If you weren’t able to join us in September, mark you calendar for October 12th, our next meeting for adult fellowship dinners. “Delightfully Spooky” is the theme for the night, featuring a “spooktacular” menu, and remember, “No tricks, Just treats”.  A team pumpkin carving/decorating competition is being held, with the winning team holding bragging rights for the rest of the year.   Let us hear from you, and we will hold a spot at the table for you.    Drue and Ellen Sander, druellen@hotmail.com
