Former Bluffton resident, Lois Kreider, who wore many hats when she lived in Bluffton, was in town earlier this week.
She was a guest at the volunteer banquet for the Et Cetera Shop and also, with three of her daughters, met with several Bluffton aquaintances in the town hall for an afternoon of remembering.
Once upon a time, her Bluffton activities, apart from serving as First Lady of Bluffton College, during the presidency of her husband, Robert, included being a Girl Scout leader and the person behind the launch of the Et Cetera Shop.
It's April - today it may be raining and cold - and earlier this week is was warm and sunny. Here's our ideal view of April in Bluffton. It's a view of the lawn between Sauder Visual Arts Center and Marbeck Center.

The decorated Centre will be open for public to view at 7 p.m. The official prom takes place from 8 to 11 p.m. A post-prom is held at Ebenezer Mennonite Church.
No matter Saturday's weather, an eager crowd of prom watchers will be stationed at The Centre on North Main Street as students enter and are announced.
Campus pastors at Mennonite colleges and universities met at Bluffton University April 8-10 to share ideas about ministry on their respective campuses and to support each other in prayer.
