Soup bagging group creates 800

Dusty

Sunday morning, Country Bible Church was the site of a very successful soup bagging session for Homestead Ministries. More than 40 people helped bag more than 800 bags of bean, split pea and lentil soup to be distributed to those in need. Most appreciated were the youngsters who worked like troopers as runners. They kept things moving by handing out supplies of baggies and labels, toting the filled bags to those who sealed the bags and then taking the finished product to the boxing area.

Art and Colene Sager had their daughter and granddaughters, Gaylene Manning of LaPine. Ore., Sarah Manning of Spokane and Hannah Manning of Valleyford, visiting from Monday through Wednesday of last week.

Weekend guest of Dick and Helen Appel was Helen’s sister, Nancy Calvert of Enumclaw. Calvert’s grandson is a student at WSU. Calvert rode over with her daughter so she could spend time with Helen. Calvert got a chance to play with Helen’s newest grandson and to watch the Taste-N-Tear 4-H club bake pies Saturday morning.

Denise and Tony Kendall, Tacoma, arrived at the home of Denise’s father, Oscar Broeckel, Friday evening. Tony visited his uncle, Tom Kendall, in St. John on Saturday. He returned to their home in Tacoma Sunday. Denise will be spending all week of her spring break from teaching in the University Place School District with her father.
