'Come Together' was the theme of the August Birthday Bash last Wednesday.  The sound of many folks getting caught up with each other filled the hall.  A feast of home-made dishes were shared. Birthday candles were blown out by Debbie, Marily and Dave.  Then visitor 16 year old Isabella Kroll sang a couple of familiar songs.  Isabella blew everyone away with her deep and powerful voice when she sang here at age 13 and she has become even more powerful.  The audience all joined in as she sang  'Come Together' by the Beatles.  Everyone is invited to the next Birthday Bash on Wednesday, September 21.

If you like to sing, come on out to the Campfire Sing-a-long outside behind the hall on Saturday, August 29  at 7:00.  Bring your instrument and a chair to an evening of song.
