Dear Friends and Neighbors,
Very best wishes from the Pettengill household to all of you for a wonderful, blessed holiday season and a healthy, Happy New Year!
This will be the last newsletter of 2005, but I'll resume them once session begins the week of Jan. 9th, 2006. Right now, we're all working feverishly to get the bills we've asked for ready for the first day. It's great fun! Last year at this time, I had no idea of all this activity and didn't get to participate - a lost opportunity, but one that makes me think of all I've learned in a year and the trust you've given me. Most sincerely, thank you.
Remember, if you have any concerns, issues or ideas you want to share, you can contact me at 319-475-2276 or via email.
All the best to you!
Dawn Pettengill
