Were you born in Bluffton? When did you graduate from BHS?
I was born on May 26, 1975 at Bluffton Hospital. My mom went into labor at our family cottage two hours north in Michigan. She and my dad drove all the way back! I graduated from BHS in 1994.
Tell me some favorite stories about growing up here. Who were some of your childhood friends? Favorite teachers?
A fundraiser to assist a Bluffton resident with cancer is planned Saturday. Friends of Brenda Kohli Anderson have put the event together.
The following activities take place a Brenda's residence, 736 N. Main St:
• Several raffles
• Lots of food, including sloppy joes, scalloped potatoes and desserts, all available for a $7 donation. Youth 5 and under are free.
Post cards, quilts, paintings, cast-iron toys, sock monkeys and lots more hobbies were displayed and shared by 25 Maple Crest elders during its July 23 biennial hobby show.
New to this year’s show were “works in progress” by three residents – Genevieve Fast knitted a scarf, Joanne Niswander took stitches in her latest needlepoint piece, and Carl Wolf demonstrated the art of coloring a mandala.
