Homecoming weekend. More will be posted as the year goes on. If you
have any address, phone, or email changes since we were last in touch,
please send them to Jerry Erickson or Marilyn Johnson or go to the online form and provide us with current information about yourself, so we don't lose track of each other.Congratulations! We're #1!
Our
class has become #1 in giving to Minnehaha! We have moved from a class
giving rate of 2% to a whopping 48%! Thanks in great part to Ken
Larson and his wonderful giving campaign. You are all to be commended...and Minnehaha thanks you very much.
