June, 2010 Posted Monday, 6/28/2010 (10:05 p.m.): This note comes from Mom Cindy Brock, PBG #29, regarding her daughter, Keva Arnold, BG #29: Keva had surgery today for her sinuses. We were not sure they were going to do it this morning but the benefits outweighed the bad. They were worried about an asthma attack during surgery, but luckily that did not happen. Her surgery took about 2 hours, and she went home about 1:00 p.m. She is feeling a lot better, and has not needed any breathing treatments since the hospital. Now to get her back to her sassy self. The last 6 months have been very rough for her and we pray this will make her better. Thanks to all for their concern and prayers. Posted Sunday, 6/27/2010 (1:50 a.m.): This note comes from Colleen Vezeau, Chairman Grandparents & Friends, regarding the club: Everyone - I on behalf of the Grand Guardian Council, PGG Mom Joleyne & PAGG Butch Carpenter would like to thank all Members from the 2009-2010 year for signing up or renewing your membership. PGG Joleyne Nelson gave ideas of what to give as gifts for this past year. We hope all the members who attended the luncheon this past weekend on 6-26 had a good time getting together and enjoying the time spent together to talk about your grandkids, want to be grandkids, or just catching up on old times. It is a joy to see everyone having a good time. The Hotel was nice enough to rope off (wall off) the area for the members to have. There were 3 rows of tables filled with members. Not all members were in attendance and for those that were not present at the luncheon, your gifts will be on their way to you. The members; I felt enjoyed the gifts they received. The men received keychain lights. The ones cats and dogs love to chase the light around if shown on the floor. The women received a mirror compact with a heart on top. Along with the gifts, they received a thank you card attached to their gifts. I am glad to hear and report to our PGG Joleyne and PAGG Butch that the gifts were well received. Again thanks to all members of the 2009-2010. Now for the 2010-2011 year. Please see the Grandparents and Friends Club page for the new Committee Member who will be helping on the Kansas City Side. We started off to a wonderful start so far lets keep it up to help the Bethels not to have to pay Assessment Fees. All information on how to contact the committee members is listed on the Grandparents page along with how you can sign up or renew your membership.
