finally got to celebrate "Christmas"
together
Holiday guests of Darold and Joyce
Grauerholz were their children and
families. They are Julie Grauerholz of
Hays; Shannon, Kristi, Weston, Shelton,
and Hannah Rothchild of Smith Center and
Dr. Byron, Leanne, Ellie and Ben
Grauerholz of Salina.
Paul, Deb, and Leah Bienhoff met their
daughter and husband, Jennifer and Ryan
Bruns of Marshall, Minn., in Norfolk,
Neb., Sunday for a quick visit and to
exchange Christmas gifts. They report
huge snow drifts in north-eastern
Nebraska. The forecast of another
possible winter storm this weekend made
for the quick visit decision.
Six members of the K-town Kates attended
the Phillips County Arts Council
presentation Sunday afternoon. They
report the vocal concert by Bill
Chrastil and Joseph Hall was very
enjoyable.
Darold and Joyce Grauerholz attended the
Midwinter Rally of the Kansas Lions in

for the Kansas Lions Club Sight
Foundation that oversees the Candy Days
proceeds that help with the optometric
department at KU Medical Center, the

newspapers over the radio and telephone
for sight-impaired, the Sure-Sight
screeners for preschoolers and the
cooperated with Blue Cross Blue Shield
Mobile Screening Units. Darold and Joyce
stayed overnight with Byron, Leanne,
Ellie and Ben Grauerholzbefore returning
home Sunday.
Everyone is deeply saddened to hear of
the tragedy of the earthquake in Haiti.
If you are wondering where to send your
contributions to have 100% of your
donations go to Haiti relief efforts,
here is an address: ELCA International
Disaster Response, ATTN: Haiti
Earthquake Relief, PO Box 71764,
Chicago, IL 60694-1764.
Bright sunshine and temperatures in the
40's and 50's helped shrink the snow
drifts, produced lots of water in the
gutters on city streets and created very
muddy rural roads and farm lots. Farmers
report difficulty in getting the cattle
fed in the lots and watered in the milo
fields. The forecast of possible rain
and snow mid-week and a major winter
storm heading our way over the weekend
will probably bring our enjoyable
weather to an end for awhile again.

John Lutheran came for the worship
service Sunday afternoon. With more in
