It's been an emotional week for us.
; Many of our neighboring businesses came to say good-bye yesterday
and say that they will miss us.; When we started the business, we were still JWs
and being treated like crap because we didn't fit in.(At the Kingdom Hall)
The business allowed us to build up confidence and self-esteem because people saw us for
who we truly were and many told us we were good people, a good family.
One; business lady has admired our work we have done for the newspaper and wants us
to design a brochure of her products. Hey maybe there is a whole new avenue of work opening
up for us.
Our community had a town meeting last night about the school budget crisis and the place
was packed. They are predicting that one out of five schools will close before the end of the
school year due to not having enough funds to pay their bills. Our school system is cutting
back in many area so they won't have to close. They handed out pre-printed postage paid post
cards addressed to our state legislature.(paid by the Parent-Teacher organization). The message to
the legislature is to start doing something about this budget crisis.; There will be 50 post cards sent out each day to them, they're hoping it will get their attention. They also plan on closing school February 12 and head for our state capitol. Our teachers and many of our parents will rally at the capitol building and try to meet with the legislators.
Our community is a very patriotic, religious community, they said the pledge to the flag together
and sang several patriotic songs before breaking up.
Sorry the above post looks terrible, hope this one is readable.
