Holiday Potluck was a Success...even with the crummy weather :(

Mandy and her daughter

On December first we had our annual Holiday Potluck. We had fun sharing holiday stories and eating all the goodies. We even had time to play a little Christmas Name that Tune! Sue is exceptionally good at this game, good thing she was on the girls team:)

The Tree is Up!

Every year we put up a Christmas Tree at the local museum. It displays the names of all our members and their donors. It truly is a precious gift. The tree will be on display until shortly after Christmas.

We will be celebrating Christmas this year on December 1st at Zion Lutheran Church. All are welcome to join.

Helping the Salvation Army!

Every year we like to help out our local Salvation Army. We stuff bags with goodies for them to distribute to local nursing homes. Thanks to everyone who helped!

EEK...It's already October!

October was a busy month for us. We participated in the 100th year of the Gypsy Day Parade for NSU. As always we had a blast! There were four of us from the group to help hand out our goodies. Our new President, Mandy, even rode in the float. Jodi made a sign that said "New Heart April 2015" and we placed it where she was sitting. Mandy received a lot of applause and cheers, it was amazing to see.

Cara from the Library

 We also had our October meeting with guest speaker Cara Romeo from the Alexander Mitchell Public Library. She spoke about some very interesting events coming to the library in the next few weeks. Who knew so much was going on at the library?!?

Please join us for our next meeting:November 3rd, 2015 @ Millstone at 6pm

August Picnic & September Meeting

In August we had our annual picnic at Centennial!

We were enjoying the beautiful weather:)

 Our September meeting was jam packed with activities and news.

Loren celebrating 19 years!!!

September brought big changes to our group! We held our elections and we added a new Vice President and President! Our new VP is Kathy Faey-she has been a member through thick and thin. We are glad she has joined our team of officers. As a group we think she will do an amazing job at helping our new president! Which brings me to my next point: Mandy Weaver has been sworn in as our new president!!! Please take the time to congratulate her when you see her around town:) I think she will do an amazing job(even with the big shoes to fill...hehe). Pics will be posted after the next meeting with our new officers.

I would like to take this time to say a big THANK YOU to all of those that helped and supported me during my presidency of Aberdeen Area Gift of Life. It was a pleasure to serve for these past two years and am excited to see where we will go from here!
 Thank You,
Samantha Huber

We also celebrated Jeff''s 7th year with his kidney! In July we celebrated Dave's 10TH YEAR with his kidney!

Dave and Jodi- celebrating 10 years with his kidney!

In August, we celebrated Janet's 7th year with her liver! We had a blast at the picnic and luckily the weather was perfect- we even fit in some time for bean bags:)

National Donate Life Month- April Meeting

Our April meeting went well, not a whole lot to report. This month the library has given us space to display our board for people whom are interested in organ donation or if they have any questions. I also participated in The Spotlight in the Aberdeen American News to help get the word out about the importance of organ donation and how it can help save lives.

Stuffing Bags for the Salvation Army

There were six Gift of Life members gracious enough to come out on Saturday morning to help the Salvation Army stuff bags for local nursing homes. Thanks everyone for your help!!

The next meeting will be April 7th at The Millstone at 6pm. Remember April is Donor Awareness Month, so let's spread the word:) 

We will have a display board up at the Alexander Mitchell Library giving facts about organ/tissue donation and more information about our group. 

We will also have a letter to the editor in the local newspaper so please watch for that.

If anyone has any questions or would like to help with an event in April please let me know.
