Underwood Ground Breaking Ceremony Held June 5, 2010
A pleasant rain fell on the participants
at the Underwood Ground Breaking Ceremony on Saturday, June 5, on Water Street Road. Leading the ground breaking activity
was our President Shirley Seyfried, in the photo from left to right are:
Betty Brockopp (our office
assistant), Pam Stempfley, Pastor Scott Mikkelson, Shirley Seyfried (in blue jacket), Marcus (apparently hiding from mosquitos),
Timothy, Morgan (looking like he is thinking about where his bedroom will be), Carole Larson, Gary Jennen, Keith Stempfley
(homeowner-to-be), Jamie, Ron Melius (probably wondering when all of the materials in his warehouse are going to go).
Richard Kurowski Benefit
A benefit for our beloved Site Supervisor Richard Kurowski was recently
held in Wahpeton. The Knights of Columbus showed everyone how to conduct a fund raising event with a Silent Auction,
meal, many drawings, and great comraderie. We are supporting Richard in his battle against cancer. He continues
to be a valuable part of our affiliate. He became a part of the Family Selection Committee this year, participating
in the work to select a new family for Underwood. He also has already been out to the new construction site and given
us his valuable insight.
This photo shows Craig giving Richard an award for his years
of service, and the Board's thanks and encouragement for many more years of serving the mission together.
