Kirk and Suzanne Sorensen and their daughters Alerie and Brielle have returned from an enjoyable vacation to Mazatlan, Mexico. They took in the sights, enjoyed the sun and warmth of Mexico and participated in many adventures. Marj Sorensen stayed at the farm during their absence and kept the home fires burning.
The Church of Endiang group, along with members of the community, gathered at the Endiang Community Hall on Nov. 18 to pack shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child, to help less fortunate children from around the globe. The event showcased the generosity of the community and outside donors with a mountain of shoe boxes packed, totalling an impressive 151 boxes.
In addition to the shoe boxes, several gift bags of items were packed for donation to the Stettler and District FCSS to help local children in need in the Town and County of Stettler.
A huge tip of the hat goes to all who donated and assisted with this exemplary act of kindness and caring, once again organized by Karyn Tateson and helpers.

“When you give joy to other people, you get more joy in return.”
“There is no elevator to success. You have to take the stairs.”
“No one is perfect, that’s why pencils have erasers.”
