I get more enjoyment out of them every year. It’s just great to see the gleam in their eyes, when they have ac complished a new skill. I think it’s important that we teach kids to be self-sufficient, and to have prin ciples and values. The overall growth and development of each member is the most important thing. It’s great to see them mature and grow.” “We meet in the old Belltown school right now, from early spring until the end of summer.

On a more serious note, she stated that “our building is in sad need of repairs. It’s not always occupied and vandals have done some damage. Occasionally, we find a mouse or snake in there. They come through holes in the walls. We’d like to make it a special club project to raise repair money to fix the old schoolhouse up. With repairs, the building could be heated. Then, the club could meet in the winter too. We are also in desperate need of chairs, especially folding ones.” She is the mother of two grown children and one teenage daughter, Linette, who lives at home.
