Norm Olson’s 100th birthday celebration

Hello everyone,

As you all know, Norm Olson will be celebrating his 100th birthday this September. There is a party at the Victoria church on September 10th.

Through the course of his life he has made countless memories with his family and friends. As a gift, I would like to collect some of these memories and put them together in an album - 100 memories for 100 years. In order to complete this project, I need your help in two ways:

1.  If you have a memory that you would like to contribute, please email them to me @ kelly.duff@gmail.com. If you have a picture to include with your memory, that would be great!

2. Please pass this message on! Norm has many friends and family members, and I would like to give as many people as possible the opportunity to contribute their memories.

Thank you for your help!

Kelly Duff

Register It is important you register for Mission Conference as early as possible so we can provide food for everyone and have enough teachers for the children’s classes.  If you have food allergies, please advise us when you register.

Youth and Young Adults There will be a youth off site activity on Friday evening, and a young adult off site activity on Friday night.  Please let me know if you or your children plan to attend either of these so we can provide transportation.
