Be thankful for all things
My family and I would like to say a public thank you to the Sleepy Eye Knights of Columbus for all their efforts in their recent fundraising for our granddaughter Ellanor and her parents, Caleb and Katie. We would also like to say thank you to all who have contributed in one way or another toward this goal for the Teddy Bear Drive. We are grateful to God for how He provides as needs arise. Ellanor continues to make good progress following the bone marrow transplant. We appreciate your continued prayers as well.
Family Living Focus – June is National Dairy Month
How many servings of dairy should I have daily? The current Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends that all Americans over the age of nine should consume three cups/servings of milk or milk products each day (1 cup of milk, 1 1/2 ounces of natural cheese or 2 ounces of processed cheese equals one serving); two and a half cups per day are recommended for children aged four-eight years; and two cups per day for children aged two-three years. What are the health benefits of dairy foods? Enjoying three servings of dairy foods including milk, cheese or yogurt, is a deliciously easy way to help build stronger bones and healthier bodies because together, these foods provide a powerful package of nutrients.

Ahoy mates! The Summer Reading Program “Oceans of Possibilities” is in full swing. We have over 150 youth committed to reading over the next six weeks. We offer weekly story time as well as weekly take home projects. For the older children there are 3-D pen activities and cartesian divers (make your own scuba diver in a bottle) activity, please stop in or call to sign up as space is limited. Scott Kadulka from the Minnesota DNR put on a very popular “Wild About Wildlife” program for the kids last week. They really enjoyed this handson program, touching and naming the different animal furs that were presented. Next Thursday, June 23, we will be visited by the Bookaneer, an engaging Library Pirate Adventure. Capt. KID will entertain at 1 p.m. at the Event Center. Hope you can all make it!
