Wright/Cromwell news

A wonderful worship event was held at the Cromwell Pavilion Saturday, sponsored by the United Methodist Church in Cromwell. More than 200 people attended, including 100 folks at the worship service and meal. A dance followed, with many more in attendance. We thank God for over 100 years of ministry to the community from the Cromwell United Methodist church.

The community club will be having a special meeting to plan for this year’s Harvest Festival. The meeting will be held at 6 p.m. Tuesday, June 27 at the pavilion. All area residents are invited and encouraged to come and share their thoughts and ideas. Volunteers are needed to help with parade planning, steak fry, kids’ and adult games, pie social, bingo and much more. They could sure use your help.

There will be a bell ringing ceremony, picnic and program at the Villa Vista beginning at noon on Monday, July 3. The members of the Young Old Timers are also invited to attend, as this will be the July get-together.

Yoga meets 11 a.m.-12 p.m. Mondays at the Cromwell Park Pavilion; $3 a person covers city rental. Gear provided.

There will be a gathering of family and friends for Kim Thudin, 68, who died tragically on Jan. 28. It will be held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on July 15 at the Thudin home on Eagle Lake. Our sincere sympathies to husband Scott and the family.

My cancer treatments are coming along, as I have an infusion once a week until July 6, when I will get an ultrasound to plan for the next step in my diagnosis. So far, it’s going well, but I’m very tired at times, so have had to slow down. But, as my mother always said, this too shall pass.

Thanks for all the cards of encouragement, thoughts, and prayers. I feel like I’m surrounded by a huge blanket of caring folks to lift me up and help me keep a positive attitude.

That’s all the news from the Edge of Wright.
