Hello, everyone. The warm weather is still sticking around. It could cool down just a bit, but I prefer warm to cold.

Nine Engadine High School students assisted the Engadine-Naubinway Lions Club at the Lions Club games on the Fourth of July in Naubinway. The students listed below each donated several hours of work under the hot skies, to insure the children had a good time. The students were: Katie Biang, Whitney Frazier, Katie Hobbs, Elisa Hobbs, Katie Rutledge, Shannon Browning, Carrie Sadler, Lauren MacArthur, and Phillip Hood. Joining them, from Colorado, was Julie Crocker, a cousin of the Hobbs family. Paula Ramelis was the coordinator for the volunteers. The Lions Club believes it would be great to have these volunteers in 2006.
