Wright News by Jennie K. Hanson September 4, 2006

Welcome Fall!

The Methodist Church will be holding their Annual Rummage and Plant Sale on September 8th at the church from 3 PM - 6PM.

Also put October 7th on your calendar, as that is the day set-aside for a Brian Saaristo Benefit Day in Cromwell.  Brian lost both of his feet in Iraq about 3 months ago.  He sent me an email and wants to thank the whole community for all the prayers, cards, and financial support he has received over this past few months.  The prayers are really paying off as he is progressing well in his recovery.  He plans to be coming home soon.  Maybe even for the Benefit Day.

Are you interested in writing to Pastor Matt and Sue Saarem?  If so their address is 1315 B 120th Ave, Amery, WI 54001.  Sue writes that their home came on August 31st and that their new well came in 45 under estimate, so that was great.  The Saarem’s were in the area recently picking up more of their belongings from the parsonage.

The new Lutheran Pastor, Janeva Stromberg will be living in the parsonage soon.

Have you seen the huge rock in the Bethlehem Lutheran Churches Parking lot? It was hauled in on the 2nd and is a donation from Art and Mary Aho.  It will later be inscribed and dated.  After you see it, it will give you new meaning to the old songs, “Rock of Ages”, or “On Christ the Solid Rock I Stand”!  It’s really pretty neat.

The primary Elections will be held on September 12th.  Beseman Township will vote by mail in ballot this year.  Can you find your ballots or did you already vote and mail it in?

I just returned from the Lake Country Power Company’s trip to Coal Creek in Bismarck, ND.  Joining me on the trip was Penny Mantey of Cromwell and 27 other area folks.  This trip goes every year and it is well worth while.  It goes every August, so watch for the announcements the June, and July Newsletters from LCP next year.  They also take a Wind Tower Trip in September, but that one is filled up for now.

Household Hint: Do you find it difficult to measure shortening accurately? You’ll find that the regular size ice cream scoop is exactly 1/4 Cup.  It’s so easy to dip into the shortening can and saves washing measuring cup and spatula.
