"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".

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.
