Mary Lushenko, John and Shirley Sizemore, Lorna Sambor and Lila Fannik were all dinner guests then with Pete and Delores Kizima of Minot

John and Alice Dvirnak of Killdeer and their daughter Joyce Lee of Illinois recently came to visit Lila Fannik. They also visited Dennis and Karla Fannik, Caroline and Robert Barden and their son Will, Delvin and Kristie Fannik and their family, and with LaVonne Fannik and Lorna Sambor before returning to their home.

Mary Lushenko served supper in her home last Sunday evening and those there brought birthday greetings to Pam Arnold.

Hannah Zaderaka, daughter of Dean and Heidi Zaderaka of Minot, invited her Grandma Margaret to go with her on her class's field trip to Stanley this past Friday. Twenty-one third graders and 21 adults boarded the school bus at Our Redeemer's Christian School for a short ride to the Amtrak station. They all rode Amtrak to Stanley. A new experience for many! In Stanley, after playing and eating lunches in the park, all toured a one-room school house that was built in 1915. Everyone then boarded the school bus for home - many young and old taking naps as we drove!
