Additional Thanks
I failed to offer my thanks to Roy Decker, grandfather of Andrew Schmitt, for the hard work he did in creating the beautiful manger for the Christmas play. He crafted it from his own backyard fence and it was a beautiful addition to our Christmas play this year. It is something we can use for many years to come. I thank Mr. Decker for his willingness to step up whenever needed by offering his generous gift of time and talent.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Lambert
