First Day of Sept., First Day of School, First Day of Volunteer Work!

It's the first day of September and I feel since it is Haley's first day of school (6th grade, 11 yrs. old) it should have some notice given.

This is also the first day of volunteer work given at Verboort. The very popular Verboort Sausage Dinner is held the first Saturday in November. There are several volunteer opportunities and with 50 hours to log, well, I may be seeing quite a few aspects of this dinner.

Today was applesauce making day. I logged 7 hours. My mother, bless her, was there and I got to see some folks I haven't seen for a long time. At the end I think they said they had 67 five-gallon buckets of applesauce. Oh, how I wish I could have taken some pictures!

The next "event" is sauerkraut making. I'm told the younger folks come to it as it is held on a Saturday.

PS Haley loves her new school. She has two teachers, Mr. Marc and Miss Gathright. There are 8 girls and 3 boys, a big change from St. Francis. This is the first time in Seven years we didn't have an opening day photograph. I hope the altar serving picture from Sunday will suffice.
