Big Foot Blessing
                            First, I hope you had a great summer! If you are like me, you’ve been cramming in as many
                            activities as possible. Of course, the season isn’t complete without punctuating it with a couple
                            days at the WalCo Fair by packing my belly with fried food and taking a few spins on the Ferris
                            wheel. Ugh… my body needs a breather and a Tums.
                            Thank goodness for Fall! It’s a great time for me to throttle back and enjoy a slower pace and
                            get back into a daily rhythm. The season also gives me the time to reflect and be thankful for
                            everything that this great community has to offer. I feel blessed, and I hope you share that same
                            sentiment as me.
                            We have a great fall lineup planned for you filled with lots of new programs, I hope to see you and
     Chuck Thiesenhusen
                            your family at one of our programs! Best wishes to you for a safe and healthy fall.
