Snow Camp fun at Bethany Birches

11/18/16

I know the weather may change by the time this issue is printed, but I have been sitting out at our picnic table reading the VT Standard these last two days in the sun and just loving it!

I see that Andy Buchan-Groff is one of the WUHS seniors who has been chosen for the State All-Star football game – way to go!  Also, proud grandmother, Lonnie Ennis is pleased that her granddaughter, Teresa helped with the benefit to support the Woodstock Food Shelf that took place at Angkor Wat Restaurant.

Congratulations to the following students on the scholastic achievement:  Anna Hepler (10th grade Summa Cum Laude) and Andy Buchan-Groff (12th grade Summa Cum Laude).  Sorry if I missed anyone – I just don’t know all of the students any longer!

Thanks to all the folks who cooked, baked and participated in the Reach Out Luncheon on 11/17.  It was a marvelous turkey dinner with all the trimmings.  We always appreciate all of the help provided by the teens and staff of Windsor County Youth!

It seems impossible that Advent is almost here.  At Tyson Church we will be pondering the season with thoughts by Richard Rohr this year.  Our Service of Remembrance will take place 12/4 at 4:00 PM, when we will light candles in honor of loved ones who have passed on. Also, mark your calendars for our Annual Candlelight Service on 12/18 at 7:00 PM.  Refreshments and social time will follow downstairs in the Community Room

Think ahead to the fun that your youngsters can have on the winter weekends at Bethany Birches Snow Camps.  Here is the schedule and remember that there is a sliding fee scale.
