Deanna Dean, Shirley Olson and Jerolyn Dean will be organizing the lunch. All are invited to attend the program and lunch. The children and their leaders put a great deal of effort into the program and appreciate everyone’s support.
Many have donated food items and County Fair coupons. The turkeys purchased with the coupons and non-perishable foods are used to fill the Sanborn County Christmas food baskets. The group is grateful for everyone’s generosity.
The ladies have also been collecting items for the Prairie View Healthcare Center. They plan to deliver those items on Dec. 12, and sing a few familiar Christmas carols for the residents. More ladies are needed to help with the singing. Joyce Olson will accompany the group on the piano.
Christmas holiday projects were discussed, and some of the organizations the group plans to help in December include the Angel Tree, Abbott House, Mitchell Area Safehouse and Feeding South Dakota.
Bible study was led by Judy Wormstadt, using the Gather magazine study titled “Joy to the World.” The lesson was a reflection on the many joys of Christmas. Jerolyn Dean served lunch.
The latter part of the evening was spent working on quilts that will be given as Christmas gifts to local charitable organizations who have a need for quilts.

Gay Swenson donating a check on behalf of the Woonsocket Community Club to Supt. Rod Weber to help with the purchase of the new speed radar sign.

Woonsocket School has begun the process of installing radar speed signs on each end of the school speed zone on South Dakota Highway 34.
The process started with getting support from the Woonsocket Schoool Board, Woonsocket City Council and Sanborn County Commissioners. Official approval by the school board was not necessary because they did not have to pay more than $5,000 to help fund the project. With support from these boards, when permission from the South Dakota Department of Transportation (SD DOT) was received, the first speed sign was then installed.
