Tom and Doreen Riedner left last Wednesday for Meridian, Idaho, with Homestead Ministries for “Feed the Need” at The Ambrose School. Thursday, Greg and Gwen Nolan brought a trailer with the ingredients for the soup packets and Becky and Steve Camp, Brian and Debi Largent, Gary Largent, Jon Webster, Audrey Largent and Jody Conrad arrived in the Onecho bus. With the aid of the Homestead Ministries helpers, the school students and some parents bagged 10,800 soup packets that were donated to the Boise Rescue Mission. The session was even visited by the governor of Idaho’s wife. The Onecho Bus and passengers came home Friday and the rest returned on Saturday.

Friday afternoon, Pastor Dennis and Marion Bay arrived at the home of Larry and Di Brink. Pastor Bay was helping with the Leslie Wigen wedding Saturday. The Bays attended the funeral services for Bernyce Leinweber Saturday morning, came back to the Brink home for lunch before going to Selbu Lutheran Church for the Wigen wedding. Sunday morning, they attended worship services at Selbu Lutheran Church where Pastor Bay helped with Communion Service. They stayed for potluck luncheon before returning to their home in Mountlake Terrace.

A week ago Saturday, Larry and Di Brink and Mike Stine attended a birthday party for the Brink’s granddaughter, Myla Brink, at Schmuck Park in Colfax. It was attended by many of Myla’s relatives and friends. She is two years old.

Ed and Joan Broeckel were in Boise from Friday to Sunday visiting their daughter Amber. Amber took her dad to a Boise State Football game.

Karen Broeckel spent more than a week on the other side of the mountains with her two sisters, Jeanette Nolan of Colfax and Patty Wieber of Spokane. They spent the time visiting relatives and friends and sight-seeing. They spent several days in Friday Harbor with their cousin Nancy and Red Earp. The rest of the time they visited with their niece’s family JoAnn and Brian Elrod and Lauren and Aiden in Bellevue, their brother and sister-in-law Al and June Broeckel, cousin Denise and Tony Kendall and friend Nancie Dalton, all in Tacoma. They returned home Monday.
