Below are the folks who served 80+ folks at the Food Bank distribution last Friday. Even though the weather is warmer, there is still a need. Can't thank these dedicated volunteers enough!

We celebrated our oldest grandson's high school graduation last Saturday night at the Duncan Building. It's hard to believe he'll be off to college in a few months. So proud of you Ani!
And congratulations to all the local graduates! It's always rewarding to talk to them and hear their plans for the future. We raise some really great kids in Otoe County!
Sometimes they do listen! This is the project Ani did:
If you want to support your local Legion baseball teams, please come to the Post Home on Friday night, May 16th, for burgers and lots of conversation!
Congratulations to the Rockets Athletes of the week: Kathleen Donovan, junior member of the Syracuse girl's track and field team, and Nolan Gartner, a junior member of the Syracuse boy's track and field team. And they both hail from Unadilla!
So very sad to report the passing of Barb Brandt this past week. She was injured in a car accident on Hwy #2. Her funeral will be Tuesday, May 13th, at the Unadilla Community Center. Barb will be laid to rest in the Unadilla Cemetery.
We also lost Dwight Kastens, former maintenance supervisor for the Village of Unadilla. A Celebration of Life gathering will be held on Saturday, May 31st, from 2 - 4 p.m. at the Duncan Building in Unadilla.
