Prayer list this week includes: Joyce Noble, Sue McClellan, Frank and Agnes McClellan, and Libby Metcalf. Please also remember the family of Maxine Miller.

Birthdays this week include: Connie Shaw (May 23). Happy Anniversary to Randy and Fran Nutt (May 28).

Frank McClellan has spent the last week in JRMC with several ailments, but is doing better.

The night time rain we've been getting off and on is much needed and appreciated. Last Friday night saw a slow drizzle accumulating to one inch, with about a 0.4 inch the following night.

The Clements-Stewart Hotel Building is open for tours every Saturday and Sunday afternoon from 2pm to 6pm. After you've visited there, come to the old school house and see the New Edinburg Museum every Sunday afternoon from 1pm to 5pm. Starting in June, I'll be opening the museum on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons for the same time period. Both places are greatly appreciated by those who stop to see the sights. Visitors to the museum this past Sunday included Don and Mary Ann Hart.

Emmaus Baptist Church will be hosting its Vacation Bible School June 13^th through the 16^th 9am to 12pm for grades pre-K through 12^th.

Even though the NEHS all school reunion is coming up in early July, there's been some discussion about a special reunion for the last ten classes to graduate from our hallowed halls. Annette (Miller) Luff decided to take the bull by the horns and get such an event moving. She and others will have a planning committee meeting at the West Saline Community Center on Sunday, June 5, at 2pm in the Community Center's conference room (that's the old 5^th grade room for those of you who haven't made it there yet). Annette feels that since this is the 30^th year for the class of 1981, that class should host the event. Any and all graduates of NEHS from 1975-1985 are welcome to give input at the planning meeting and are invited to attend the reunion itself which is tentatively set for sometime in September. I'll keep you apprised here as time goes by.
