Homestead crew rolls to Meridian

Homestead Ministries Friday partnered with Ambrose Christian School in Meridian, Idaho, to make up 10,800 bags of soup totaling more than 80,000 servings with the help of grades K-12, 30 local volunteers and Idaho Governor Butch Otter.

The group took down all the product, spices, bags and labels for the assembly in four trailers. Those who traveled the eight-hour journey were Tom and Doreen Riedner, Greg and Gwen Nolan, Jon Webber, Bob and Norma Schulz, Chuck and Sharon Lyman, Peggy Zaring, Brian and Debbie Largent, Gary and Lisa Largent and Katie Largent. The product was then donated to the Boise Rescue Mission.

Ed and Joan Broeckel spent from Sunday to Tuesday in Seattle visiting their grandson, two-month-old Andrew, and his parents, Jen and Anthony Harkishnani.

The Dusty B.B. Club will meet on Wednesday, Nov. 14, from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. at the LaCrosse Catholic Church to make baby blankets for the Sacred Heart Hospital free maternity clinic in Spokane. Hostesses will be Jenell Guske and Sandy Passmore. Roll call is: Bring a favorite piece of jewelry and tell about it. Lunch will be in the LaCrosse Café, with dessert and coffee back at the church.
