Quilt of Valor

On November 4, General Election Day, the library was honored to have Cross Lutheran Church hold a Chili Feed with Pie and Ice Cream, craft and bake sale, used book sale and a booth set-up by the local Tastefully Simple customer representative. With all the events and matching funds from Pierce-St. Croix Thrivent Financial over $3500.00 was raised for our new building. It was a wonderful evening for visiting with friends and neighbors while supporting the building we hope will become reality in the next year or so. At this event I presented Kim Gunderson, Tastefully Simple representative, with a Quilt of Valor for her husband who has recently returned from service with the National Guard. He's been on a couple of deployments and has served his country well. Above is the quilt I presented them with because I felt the heart and home theme was suitable for a family happy to have Dad/Husband home again.
