Behold! Day Retreat and Concert

Behold! Day Retreat and Concert with Trish and Richard Bruxvoort Colligan Saturday, December 12 at Soul of the Prairie and Zion United Church of Christ, Hubbard Iowa

It's dark and cold in the Midwest about now. As we long for light and transformation, let's not rush it. There are gifts here in the dark.

In fact, this may be a moment to gasp, "Behold!" to your life. And all the mystery that is emerging in it. Join us for a day of breathing deeply into the season. Music, dreaming, rest, drumming, labyrinth walking, stories, candlelight. Courage for the dark season.

You are welcome here. If you feel drawn to this event, please give yourself the gift of this day of renewal.
9am-4pm retreat
5:30-7pm labyrinth walking
followed by a 7:30pm concert at Zion UCC, Hubbard
Concert is open to all - freewill donation
$87 includes full-day retreat, lunch, labyrinth walk, and a free CD of your choosing!

There will be a horse and buggy team in the lighted parade December 3! Then there’s the fire trucks, clowns, golf carts, lawnmowers, trucks and cars …. And YOU!

Any individual, company, or non-profit organization is encouraged to participate. You can drive your own vehicle, attach lights and join in the holiday spirit. Be sure to line up at Progress Park no later than 5:45 pm. Contact Jeff Hofer at Hampton Hardware to answer all your questions about how to make regular Christmas tree lights work on your car.

Hampton Rotary, Franklin Supervisors Boost Make a Splash

Two significant pledges have pushed the total of gifts and pledges to the Make a Splash! Campaign past the $150,000 mark.

The Hampton Rotary Club made a $10,000 pledge and the Franklin County Supervisors committed to a similar amount to the Make a Splash! Campaign, which seeks funding for Hampton’s new Family Aquatic Center and related Progress Park Regional Recreation Complex project. Combined, the pledges bring the total of gifts and pledges to the Make a Splash! Campaign to $155,755.

“Both Rotary and the Supervisors are setting great examples of community spirit and collaboration,” said Pat Sackville of Hampton, Coordinator of the Make a Splash! Campaign. “I thank them on behalf of the Steering Committee and all residents of Franklin County who will enjoy the benefits of this project.”

“Rotary is proud to be of service to our community by supporting this project,” said Rotary President and Hampton Mayor Diane Weldin.

The support of Franklin County is a crucial component of the application to the Vision Iowa Board for a Community Attraction and Tourism (CAT) grant. The Supervisors on Nov. 16 unanimously approved a motion to endorse the project and authorize a pledge of $10,000. The unofficial minutes of the Nov. 16 meeting note that the Supervisors might consider additional funding for the project in 2010.
