     Hello Readers,  I’m baaaccckk,

     First of all,  I will end up with the news from 2011.  I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!!  Several college students were home for the holidays and will be leaving to return to their studies.  Roseanne Antelli and friends from Star, Idaho was home with her mother Mary Roberts and family.

     The Elementary School Children had a “Food Drive” in December and blessed the United Methodist Food Pantry with bags and bags of non-perishable food.  Also  St.Isidore’s Parishioners have given several bags to help out.  Thanks to all that help our local Community families in time of need!    A huge THANKS to all that donated money for the gift certificates that were given to families that needed some help during the holidays.  God Bless you all !!!

     Heartfelt Sympathy to the Family and Friends of Norman Robitaille and Leon Gendron, these fellows passed away on Christmas Day. (When your heart is empty fill it with happy memories)

     The 50 week club winner’s for the past two week of Dec. were Jodi Walker, Mark Brouillette, Beth O’Brien and Wanda Snider.

     HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!   What a gorgeous day it has been for the beginning of a new year.  It was a slippery morning getting around all the roads and streets as they were icy, had to watch your every step.  Then this afternoon it was up to 40 degrees.  So Maggie Elkins and I, took the Christmas lights off the park tree, the wind had whipped them during there time up and seeing it was so nice and they were dry we took them down.  The tree is getting pretty big for us to decorate, but we will do it as long as we can.

     Welcome back Maryann  Bugbee, she has been out of her trailer on Black Falls Road since hurricane Irene destroyed her back yard, took half the dirt from under her trailer, along with thetrees and back deck.  It will seem good for her to be back in her home.  It will seem good to have her back.  

     Happy Birthday  to Lisa Cennamo 1/9, Mike Deuso, Taylor Soule, Robert Gendron III 1/11, Brenda Ostrout 1/12, Sue Cherrier & Lilly Robtoy 1/13, Charlotte Deuso & Elizabeth Davidson 1/14.
