School has started, so please take extra time for travel and stop for all school buses. We want to keep all the children safe while they travel to and from school. When the bus is stopped, wait until the children have safely crossed the road and the bus has started again before moving.

Come to the next Kettle River city council meeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 13 at the council room.

There will be a Ma & Pa Kettle Days planning meeting at 1 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 18 at the Kettle River senior center. We will be working on upcoming events and discussing ideas for next year’s festival. We need everyone to come with ideas for future events.

I am looking forward to attending the Finnish luncheon at noon Tuesday, Sept. 20 at the Kettle River senior center and see what we will have then. This is always a great time to visit with friends. Of course, the food will be great and there will be several prize drawings again. The last Finnish luncheon for the season will be Oct. 18. We will be saying goodbye and safe travels for all our snowbirds.

Quilting began again at Holy Trinity, 9 a.m. until noon, every Wednesday unless the weather is bad. You do not have to be a member of Holy Trinity to join. Most of the quilts are donated to various charities. Donations of new cotton fabric are appreciated and can be brought to the church during our quilting time or to me.

When you send a card to someone in the hospital, try putting their home address as the return address on the envelope. That way, if they are discharged before the card arrives, it will be returned to them instead of the sender.
