members that will be call-ing you so look for their call in the near future to order your Christmas greens. Sharron Brady, Director, Kedish House
After many years of Kedish House doing the annual Christmas green
sales as a fund-raiser we decided
we just didn't have the time it takes to do this any-more. So we have turned this fundraising project
over to the Ellendale Lions and they will be doing the calling for orders and tak-ing care of the greens this year in Ellendale and the surrounding areas. So when you get the call for your order it will be the Lions
The annual Kedish House spaghetti dinner will be held on Sunday, October 16th from 11 am to 1:30 pm in the Opera House Lobby in Ellendale. Free Will Offering. Silent auction baskets and door prizes; quilt and pie auction at 12:15 pm with auc-tioneer Florian Schnable. Donations of pies are always ap-preciated. Questions, call 701-349-4729.
