"Rocket Detective" after school club, led by Barb Wilhelm,
ventured to the Park Hill Cemetery in Syracuse last Tuesday.
Students learned about the Veteran's Memorial and how to
locate names in the index. Paper and fat crayons were used to do
"rubbings" on the stones, bringing up names, designs, and stories.
Almost all the students found relatives buried there, and Mrs.
Wilhelm was very pleased with the respect the students showed
during this endeavor. Some of the rubbings turned out to be very
beautiful and were truly "a work of art".
***
Condolences to the friends and family of Mary Lou Warnke,
former Unadilla resident.
***
Congratulations to former resident Frederick Frye on his marriage
to Loretta Kelly on Oct 14th. The happy couple will make their
home near Hickman.

The November meeting of the Christian Church Circle was held at the
home of Sandi Kimbell on November 11, with 11 members and one guest
present. Jean Lucas gave the treasurer's report. It was noted that
a cleaning crew is needed for December. There will be no Youth Group
on Wednesday, November 24th. The Circle will provide drinks for
this group in the future - there have been about 25 children
participating. "Hanging of the Greens" was discussed and with
Pastor Andy's approval, it will be held the 28th of November
instead of the 21st. A community Thanksgiving Service will be held
at the Church on November 21st at 7:30 pm. Cookies and coffee
will be served after the service. The Circle Christmas party will
be on December 9th at the church, beginning at 6 pm. Members
are encouraged to invite a daughter or a friend. Bring a gift for
exchanging. There was no traveling basket due to the absence
of Patty Draeger. Hostess Sandi read some good information on
Veteran's Day and served desert. Mary Margaret Clark, Secretary.
