HAPPY FINES
 
Kristen Stuenkel: I am happy that our club adapted and is using zoom so that we can continue to meet (including any members who might be out of town!). I am happy that our club is engaging with SACA for the monthly food deliveries.
 
Brian Weierke: I'm happy my son, Carter, has been given an opportunity to play college basketball at my alma mater Bemidji State University next year.  He's planning to make a final decision next month but in this difficult time with college recruiting, I'm excited for him to get an opportunity to compete at a high level and earn a college education at the same time.
 
Kim Hiel: I am happy for my family and our health.
 
Vern Hoium: Our 15 year old granddaughter is on the mend.  She collapsed on Sept 29th and spent the next 2 1/2 months in the hospital in Albuquerque.  Finally they flew her to Children's Hospital in Kansas City where they diagnosed her with in inflammation of the stomach.  She was put on a feeding tube to by-pass the stomach and it will take 10 to 12 weeks to get back to normal.  But she has been discharged from the hospital and will be returning home next week.
 
Bob Tholkes: Our older granddaughter Tori returned home from her first semester at UW-Madison healthy, happy, and with a 4.0 GPA. Younger granddaughter Rosemary (Prairie Farm, WI, class of 2021) has been accepted at UW-River Falls and intends to major in Art, something new for our immediate family.
