Information

Giving Thanks

November and giving thanks are inseparably

linked together in my conscious and

subconscious mind. Thanksgiving is about giving

thanks for all we have been given.

Thanksgiving doesn’t just happen. Thanksgiving

takes planning, doesn’t it? For Thanksgiving to

happen we need to coordinate schedules, get the

shopping done, do prep for the meal, time the

meal, and more. To really enjoy the celebration

and have everything go just right takes planning.

Giving thanks to God for all God has first given

us is the same way. One of the primary ways we

express our thanks to God is by giving back to

God from our finances. I have never seen or heard

of anyone serving leftovers for the big Thanksgiving meal. For almost all of us,

Thanksgiving revolves around the big meal – and it is never leftovers. Special care

and planning goes into making the Thanksgiving meal. In a similar way, if we fail

to plan our giving of thanks, then it is as though God is getting our leftovers. And

few of us have enough money left over at the end of the month to adequately say

“Thank you” to God. To really say “Thank you” to God requires planning our

financial giving into our monthly budget ahead of time.

One of the ways my family and I say “Thank you” to God is by tithing. In the Old

Testament a “tithe” was “one-tenth.” God’s people brought one-tenth of their

income to the temple. Their income may have been livestock or grain or fruit. We

plan to give this tithe to God in our budget. Whenever we talk about spending

money at our house our thanksgiving to God is a fixed expense planned into our

budget. Not only is it satisfying to say thank you, but we find great satisfaction in

seeing our dollars used for those things we believe are most important in this

world. Tithing also reminds us every day that God is first and foremost in our

lives.

Zion’s fall stewardship emphasis is an invitation for you to

plan your giving of thanks. On Sunday, October 30, or in

the days following, our members and regular attenders

will receive a packet of information. Inside you will

find an Estimate of Giving Card for 2012. An Estimate

of Giving Card is just that, an estimate of how much

you intend to give back to God financially through

Zion in 2012. I invite you to complete this card and

return it on Sunday, November 6 or 13. Not only

does it help you with your “thanks-giving”

planning, it helps congregational leaders to plan the

church’s finances as well. So I ask that you begin to

prayerfully consider and plan to give thanks to God

for 2012.

The 35th Annual Community Festival of

Thanksgiving and Praise will take place

at Zion on Wednesday, November 23 at

8pm. Invite your neighbors and friends

to attend this service of thanks that

brings our community together. This is

truly a faith-filled experience for all

families.

Pastors from the Buffalo area

churches join to give leadership to

this community-wide time of

worship. Over 130 musicians

from different churches are

expected to participate. Choirs

from six Buffalo churches will

combine to present anthems of

thanks and praise with organ

and brass. The handbell choirs

from Zion and other churches

are preparing pieces to be

rung in a massed choir.

Nursery is provided, and

offerings are used to help those

in need through the Buffalo

Ministerial Association.

New Kids’ Place Staff

Zion would like to welcome and introduce

two new Kids Place staff members. Launi

Stuhr (left) is our new Kids

Place supervisor. She is married and has 2

sons named Daric and Toby. Jolene Halek

(right) is our new Kids Place staff. She is

married and has one little boy named

Leighton. We are blessed to have them as a

part of this program, using their skills and

gifts to serve the children at Zion. If you see

them in the halls on Wednesday afternoons,

please welcome them and let them know we

are thankful to have them as part of our ministry team.

Service of Remembrance

On November 6, 2011, All Saints Sunday, Zion will be holding its annual “Service

of Remembrance” at 4pm. Traditionally, we take this time to honor and

remember our loved ones that have died over the past year or in previous years.

The service includes scripture readings, hymns, prayers, a meditation and Holy

Communion. There is also an opportunity for everyone to light a candle in

memory of their loved ones and to recite their names.

456 event will be in mid-December.

Successful Hog Roast

The Hog Roast on Sunday, October 16, was a great

kick off for the Truckload of Life project.

Rich Arens, Bill Husom, and Goose Kellerhuis stayed

up all night to roast the hogs. They had their work

cut out for them. They enjoyed the company of many

visitors during the evening and night. All enjoyed

the shared stories and laughter. The night air was

chilly, but they stayed warm with a portable fire pit.

More crew members came in to help cut up the hogs

in the morning.

Many volunteers helped to prepare, serve, and clean

up. Over 173 people enjoyed the delicious food and

good company.

At the time of this print, the Hog Roast had raised

$2,000 for the Truckload of Life packaging event and there was much meat left

over to be sold separately.

All proceeds of the hog roast will support the Truckload of Life Project, a major

food packaging event to be held April 15, 2012, sponsored by Harvest of

Hands. Harvest of Hands will lead the congregation and community in coming

together to fill an entire semi-trailer of packed meals (100,000) for those in need

around the world.

Thank you for your support and participation in this project.

If you know of

someone who

could benefit from

the aid of meals,

please get some

from the freezer

and deliver them.

making holiday cookie packages. If you

know of someone whose day needs some

brightening with cookies (and possibly a

meal), contact [email protected].

you like baking! … And if you have any

spare cookie tins to donate to this

project, leave them at church labeled

asked to attend a class prior to the date of

the baptism. Expectant parents, as well as

those who already are parents, may

attend the class. Scheduling of baptisms

will take place at the class.

The next classes are Wednesday,

November 2, at 6pm or Sunday,

December 11, at noon. Register at

ZionBuffalo.org/Baptism or by calling the

office.

Sign Up for Prayer Sisters

A Prayer Sister is someone you are

partnered with for the year, whom you

remember in daily prayer. You also send

cards and/or gifts for special occasions, or

whenever God moves you to do so; He

knows when she needs a day brightener.

The following December, the identity of your

Prayer Sister is revealed to you at the

annual Christmas Tea. Sign up now for the

2012 program online or at the Info Desk.

Family Game Night

Bring a snack to share, your favorite board

games and your family and friends, and

join other Zion friends for a Family Game

Night in Fellowship Hall at 7pm on

Friday, November 11.

It's a terrific way to spend a cold fall

evening and meet new families and friends

at Zion. If you have other questions, please

contact Beth Hanson or the church office.

Serving Supper

Zion has been treated to two months of great Wednesday Night Suppers so far

this fall. Over 150 people often come to eat each Wednesday!

A rotation of six great meals are offered to give a great variety to suppers, and

volunteering on a supper team is a great way to serve Zion families and get to

know some new people (both those who are working with and those attending

supper). Volunteers are always welcomed to the Wednesday Night Supper

teams. Consider joining the Sloppy Joe team for their four Wednesdays yet to

come this year (12/ 7, 1/ 25, 3/7, 4/ 25).

Contact Cindy Bonde ([email protected] or 684.1967) for information or to start

serving on a supper team.

Thanksgiving Eve Choir

Singers are welcome to join the Thanksgiving Eve Choir which will sing at the

Community Festival of Thanksgiving and Praise at Zion on Wednesday,

November 23, at 8pm. Rehearse at Zion at 7pm on Sunday, November 20, and

6:30pm prior to the service on Wednesday evening.

Table Project Demonstration

Have you tried the Table yet? It is a new online Zion-specific social network

application aimed at strengthening faith-

sustaining relationships among people at Zion.

Angela Bengtson will be hosting a demonstration

and information session in the Zion Library at

9:35am on Sunday, November 13.

how to sign up, how to fill out your profile and

preferences, how to find people and groups and

how to use the prayer and serve tools. There will

also be time for questions.

You are welcome to bring your laptop and/or

Apple mobile device for hands-on help (although that is optional).

Bible Study for Women

Me, Myself, & Lies is an inter-generational study

for all women, either new to studying God’s

Word or more experienced. This study is led by

Donna Magnan on Wednesdays at 9:30am, in the

Zion Library, until November 23.

Me, Myself, and Lies deals with our destructive,

unrealistic self-talk. In this study Jennifer

Rothschild explores the power of self-talk. As

she takes us through the things we commonly say

to ourselves, she teaches us to practice godly and

biblical soul-talk.

We talk to ourselves all the time. We evaluate

everything we do, compare ourselves to others,

and even call ourselves names. We disparage who we are instead of telling

ourselves the truth about who God says we are. Rather than struggling with self-

esteem, body image, stress and other unhealthy thoughts and emotions, this

study encourages us to clean out the junk in our thoughts and replace these

hidden negative thoughts and failures with positive truths from God’s word.

Please contact Donna Magnan at 972-6403 if you are interested in participating

in this study so that enough study guides are prepared.

Zion Book Club

The Book Club selection for Monday, November 14, will be Room by Emma

Donoghue.

In many ways, Jack is a typical 5-year-old. He likes to read

books, watch TV, and play games with his Ma. But Jack is

different in a big way–he has lived his entire life in a single

room, sharing the tiny space with only his mother and an

unnerving nighttime visitor known as Old Nick. For Jack,

Room is the only world he knows, but for Ma, it is a prison

in which she has tried to craft a normal life for her son.

When their insular world suddenly expands beyond the

confines of their four walls, the consequences are piercing

and extraordinary. Despite its profoundly disturbing

premise, Emma Donoghue’s Room is rife with moments of

hope and beauty, and the dogged determination to live,

even in the most desolate circumstances. A stunning and

original novel of survival in captivity, readers who

enter Room will leave staggered, as though, like Jack, they

are seeing the world for the very first time.

This is a low pressure book club. Readers are encouraged to simply come for

discussion with no preparation.

Thanksgiving Visits to

Homebound and Seniors

Do you look ahead into November and

find that you'd have time to stop by a few

homes or care center rooms to visit with

some of Zion's members or friends?

Members of the Naomi Circle and

Rebecca Circle have a list of people they'd

like to visit but they could use a few more

volunteer visitors. Our goal is to make

sure all visits are made between

November 14-22. The circles provide a

small gift to bring as well as the names

and addresses of those to be visited. This

is a great chance to meet some of Zion's

senior members and learn a little more

about Zion's history. If you have an hour

or two to spare, you'll be thankful for the

connections you can make with some

wonderful people.

Contact Sherilyn Burgdorf in the Zion

office (SBurgdorf@ZionBuffalo) to

volunteer.

St. Lucia Supper

On Monday, December 12, the eve of St.

Lucia Day, Zion invites all to a light

supper of soups, breads, cheeses, and

Scandinavian specialties with a brief

program of music, scripture, and

Scandinavian memories. Guest musicians

this year will be the wRight Ringer

Handbell Ensemble. Sign up online or at

the Zion information desk. The Supper

starts at 6pm.

The St. Lucia supper is a family friendly

event that highlights the Swedish

tradition of Lucia, who gave food to those

in need. Many Swedish families and

communities celebrate St. Lucia day with

a breakfast served by the oldest daughter

in the family or someone chosen to wear

the Lucia crown of lighted candles.

Volunteers are welcome to help bake the

traditional Lucia rolls on Monday

morning with master baker Lesley Walz,

help serve the supper, provide Christmas

cookies/treats, or help with clean up after

the supper. Contact Sherilyn

Burgdorf ([email protected] or

Global Mission Ministry

Venture North Bike Walk

Coffee Opens

The Venture North Bike Walk Coffee officially launched

on October 8. The day featured a breakfast, a bike parade,

entertainment, and a ribbon cutting with many local

government representatives.

Venture North is dedicating itself to the “newbies” of the

bike world: first time bikers, returning bike riders,

pleasure seeking riders and the health conscious. Venture

North will offer high quality refurbished bikes and

accessories, a coffee/snack bar, bike repair, walking gear,

transit information and activity groups. A mechanics

program will provide high-caliber training for 16 youth

who will intern in the spring as well as mentor younger

learners in Earn-a-Bike and Build-a-Bike programming.

Why is The Redeemer Center for Life

opening a bike shop?

The center will offer many jobs and offer experienced

programming in science and math needed for college prep

courses and opportunities for exercise and improved

health.

How will the center be funded?

The 2011 operations are funded by a Communities Putting

Prevention to Work grant made by the City of

Minneapolis to Redeemer Center for Life. The Center

needs to fund the build-out and all continuing

programming in 2012. Donations will be gladly accepted

in order to keep the bike shop working.

Adopt a Family

Zion is again participating in the Adopt A Family

program sponsored by Buffalo Rotary and Love INC Big

Woods, providing practical Christmas gifts for the same

children who are eligible to receive toys from Toys for Tots.

Recipients will fill out a form (their wish list) and pass it on to a coordinator

who will match them with a family, business, or church that want to adopt.

Adopting families (including church families) will receive the wish list from a

family with the child’s name, age and sizes of items to be purchased like clothing,

pajamas, socks, boots and mittens, as well as wrapping paper so the parents can

wrap the items. It is also encouraged to provide (and wrap) a gift for the

parent(s) like a gift certificate to a local merchant.

Confidentiality will be maintained by using different names.

Make someone’s holiday bright and pick a tag with a gift to buy and drop off in

the bin at Zion between November 21-December 11. Recipients will collect their

gifts at Zion on December 15 and 16.

To get involved with this program, please contact

[email protected] or call Love INC-Big Woods at 763.682.6820.

Meals on Wheels

Thank you to all of those who have

been quick to sign up for Meals on

Wheels. Many slots have already been

filled.

Zion is asked to provide three drivers

each day in November at 11:45am for

approximately an hour of meal delivery

to households in the city of Buffalo.

This is a most rewarding activity and

makes a good family service project.

You will receive a reminder call the day

prior to or on your volunteering day(s).

Consider which days you can help and

email [email protected]

or sign up at the information desk. You

can also check the calendar

at ZionBuffalo.org/MOW. Are you on

“The Table” yet? There’s a Meals

on Wheels group there that also

gives complete calendar

information.

If you’ve driven before and

prefer a specific route please

request it when you sign up.

If you’d like to try it but

you’re unfamiliar

with Buffalo, let us

know. We’ll find a

partner for your first

drive.

Harvest of Hands November 5

The 33rd annual Harvest of Hands Festival is just days away! There is

something for everyone:

• Volunteers have been working all year long to fill Trinity Hall with crafts,

baked and canned goods, jewelry, Christmas items, nature, and much more.

There is always something new.

• There is sure to be a bargain-priced treasure for you to discover in one of

the several rooms full of White Elephant items that members have been

collecting throughout the year.

• Made-to-order omelets and crepes, along with fresh baked goods and coffee

make a wonderful brunch.

• There will be fun for the children too. They will be able to paint an

ornament, make a beaded necklace or bracelet, and have their face painted.

• The Silent Auction features assorted gift baskets as well as special craft

projects and art works.

Proceeds from Harvest of Hands support local and world

hunger. This year the main project supported will be the

Finance & Stewardship

What to Get Uncle Sven for Christmas?

If you are like me, you are probably already trying to figure out what to get your

family and special friends for Christmas. Every year I find myself struggling to

create my Christmas list. You begin with the easy part, you list all the names. Ok

so far, but now the real task begins.

Let’s see, first name on the list is our married son Eric. You think back to what

you got him last year- oh yeah- we got him a nice sweater, a couple of sport

shirts, a gift card to Cabela’s and of course a nice warm pair of socks. Sounds

good, I think I can duplicate that again. Ok, next on the list, Eric’s wife ... Oh,

she’s easy. How about one of those new fangled espresso/latté coffee machines?

She loves those morning coffee concoctions that are so popular now. Next, let’s

see grandson Jacob. I know he loves Star Wars stuff and video games. And, of

course, we always get him a boat load of new clothes and stocking stuffers, after

all, he is our grandson. Let’s see, next on the list is Uncle Sven. Man, he has

everything! He always says he doesn’t need anything. Last year he pretended to

like that oversized ball that you sit on which is supposed to help you stay in

better shape. My aunt said that when he finally tried it, he fell off, hit his head on

the coffee table, and had to get four stitches behind his ear. I guess that wasn’t

such a good idea. Hmm, what can I get good old Uncle Sven?

Does all of this sound familiar to you? Does it feel sometimes like Christmas has

become a chore, an obligation to buy things that people don’t need, just to be part

of the celebration? We get bogged down in the obligations and miss the real

reason to celebrate. God gave us a gift that made a world of difference at

Christmas. What if you gave a different type of gift? A gift that may make a

difference for someone you do not even know. Here at Zion and around our

community we have numerous caring opportunities that we can help support.

Does your son really need another pair of socks or could you donate that same

pair of socks to the Redeemer Christmas Store, our sister church in North

Minneapolis? Does your grandson really need all those stocking stuffers that

typically just get lost in the toy bin and are never seen again? What if instead you

donated those same dollars to All Kids Can Learn International in your

grandson’s name? It could be a great teaching moment and lesson that you could

share with him. Oh yeah, what about Uncle Sven, give him a special gift too, after

all he didn’t want anything and he has always been very generous to

others. Maybe a financial gift to Lutheran World Relief or Mission

Jamaica to help with the purchase of food and other supplies would

be the perfect gift to Uncle Sven.

The Global Mission Committee encourages that before you and your

family jump into the annual Christmas gift purchasing cycle, a family

discussion is in order. What if you talked about how you could, as a

family, share your gifts with others? Can you and your family

“Make a World of Difference?” God encourages us to share the

possessions that he has shared with us. If you are encouraged

to give, you can do so in a couple of different ways. You can

send your gifts directly to your chosen organization or you

can give your donation to the church, designating it to Global

Mission and noting the specific organization on your check.

The Table is a new online Zion-specific social network application aimed at

strengthening faith-sustaining relationships among people at Zion.

Why Table Users Love the

Prayer Wall

• There’s no need to pass requests

around—everyone can be instantly

updated.

• A prayer can be updated with new

info. No need to send out repeated

emails keeping people in the loop.

• Using the ‘Pray Now‘ button you can

let people know that you’re praying.

That’s encouraging. If you posted a

prayer request, you can be notified of

that on-going encouragement—

there’s a shot in the arm when you’re

going through something tough.

• You can use the ‘flag’ feature to call

out prayer gossip and keep the Prayer

Wall legit.

• You can post anonymously. Sure, the

prayer chain would let you do that,

but somebody always knew. With the

Prayer Wall it’s actually anonymous.

• The Prayer Wall becomes an archive

of your Zion’s prayer history. Imagine

being able to search through years of

prayer history at your church. There’s

a lot of power in revisiting answered

prayer and seeing how God has

moved.

There is a place to serve and share together.

There is an online directory where you can find your friends, find other church members that live

near you, and put names with the faces that aren’t so familiar to you.

There is a growing catalog of small groups to help you meet people with similar interests.

There is a place to share prayer requests and

praises, as well as let others know that you are

praying with them.

Our Vision Is Near!

At last year’s annual meeting, the

congregation passed a resolution for a

Vision Task Force to lead the

congregation through a visioning process

in 2011, which included:

• Identifying several key initiatives

which will provide direction and focus

for the mission and ministry of Zion

for approximately the next 5 years,

• Developing a strategic plan to

implement the initiatives into the life

of the congregation,

• Putting into one document the

mission statement, vision statement

and strategic plan for implementation

of the key initiatives, and

• Presenting the above for approval at

the 2011 Annual Congregational

Meeting.

During the past year, the congregation

and staff have been actively involved in

providing their input to the visioning

process through the church assessment

and small group forums. The culmination

of this process was the development of the

proposed:

• vision statement,

• three key initiatives (Celebrating On

Sundays, Living God’s Call, and

Connecting with Care) and,

• strategic plans to implement these

initiatives.

This proposal will be mailed to voting

members later this month with the Annual

Meeting information.

Stepping into God’s Tomorrow

I am thrilled to have witnessed Zion go through what I would

already consider a true transformation ... I cannot wait to see

where Stepping Into Tomorrow takes us.

~ Chuck Zumbusch

Sunday worship is only one part of the overall

ministry of Zion but it is a very important first

impression ... for those looking for a caring, loving

church home.

~ Lew & Marian Hille

God dwells within the church, God dwells within our

congregation, and God dwells with our family.

~ Amy & Jason Chalupnik, Tommy & Danny

You, my church family, helped me more than you can

know by showing me how you live by giving of yourselves

and your resources generously.

~ Bev Koopman

I support this church because I feel that Zion has high

expectations of God and of its congregation ...Zion

expects God will work through this church to

accomplish His will.

~ Linda Lear

My parents taught me that giving is important because it can

be life changing for not only the receiver, but also the giver …

the church has given me so much over my lifetime, so why

not give back to such a big part of my life.

~Malia Foster

Slowly but surely, we reached a place where we truly feel we

are doing our part to support Zion’s ministry

financially. We are giving back to God.

Musings from

Myron

I feel blessed to be part of a church that

has a growing enthusiasm.

“What? Enthusiasm? What are you

talking about?” is probably what most

people would think of that statement.

It is great to be part of a community that

is willing to go through some of the

challenges that Zion has gone through, to

better advance the kingdom of God.

Philippians 4:4 says, “Rejoice in the Lord

always; again I will say, Rejoice.”

Few things make us feel as used up as being unenthusiastic about a task.

Likewise, when we feel used up, it’s hard to be enthusiastic about any task. We

feel exhausted when we are asked to participate in something that seems

spiritually dead, useless or hopeless.

On the other hand, we feel charged up and eager to go when we are involved in

something that involves our gifts and talents, where our efforts make a difference

to others.

Perhaps you have been swept up in enthusiasm recently - maybe with success of

your favorite team, because you were asked to participate in something you

enjoy, or because you felt a spirit of unity and togetherness. Maybe you achieved

something special and you wanted to tell others about it.

Wouldn’t it be nice to have this same enthusiasm every day - at school, home,

about our education, or even church? With the benefit of enthusiasm, there

would be no end to what we could accomplish together.

The apostle Paul urges us to rejoice always, to have an excitement and an

enthusiasm about our faith. Sometimes rejoicing is difficult; but when we

remember that God is the source of all good things - the source of our strength

and comfort - we can rejoice because God is good, all the time even in our

messiness.

A few questions for you to ponder:

• What are some things that make you enthusiastic and how can you use them

to help further your faith?

• What is truly holding you back from rejoicing in all that you do?

• What excites you most about God?

Take time to write these down. Post them somewhere, so that you can see them

daily. Then, take time to bring them to God … whether they be struggle or

celebrations … and do it enthusiastically!

The Blessing of Leading Grapple

Hello! My name is Tammy Zumbusch. I am fortunate enough to be Zion’s

Grapple leader for our 5th and 6th grade boys and girls. Grapple is a curriculum

that truly speaks the language of preteens. It is designed to answer real life

questions and tackle issues preteens care most about. In essence, we “grapple”

with issues that kids their age deal with,

finding answers by digging into the

Bible. My experience with Grapple has

been nothing short of one of the greatest

blessings in my life thus far. Let me

explain why, and I believe the reason to

be two-fold.

First it is my belief that children are

born, “knowing” God. We are all made

in his image and therefore we, “feel”

Him, His love, His presence, before we

can put it to words. We all have an

innate yearning to get closer to Him.

One of my favorite stories is about Helen

Keller. When she was finally given the

gift of language and was taught about

God she simply said, “I knew it!” No one

was there to impose their views on her,

and yet, she felt His presence. That is

the coolest thing about teaching

children, you aren’t working alone. The

Holy Spirit is there to guide you every step of the way. You are awakening in

them what has already been “built in” by the Master Craftsman. The children we

teach are CREATED to love, worship and serve their Heavenly Father. By being

there and guiding them, we help foster that relationship. Witnessing a child

grow in his/her relationship with God is like getting a front row seat to watch a

flower bloom, a breeze cool someone off, or an ocean produce waves. We get to

witness them become who they were created to be.

The second reason has to do with my personal relationship with God. I am

married, with 5 children. Life gets hectic. We pray before meals and before bed.

God is a part of our everyday life as a family. However, our relationship with

God, like anything, takes time and effort to flourish. Before Grapple, I found

myself often times putting my relationship with Him after my relationship with

my children and my husband. Sometimes extended family would even get a

higher priority. Which is just silly as all my ability to love comes from Him. I

never stopped having faith, or stopped worshipping Him, I just didn’t take time

to nurture our relationship. However, when I prepared for Grapple, I would do

so by first praying that the Holy Spirit work through me to reach the children

and I would, simply stated, spend time with Scripture. I would decode it for the

sake of explanation for the kids. This would also clarify the message for me and I

would find myself learning and seeing the well-known Bible stories in a whole

new light. (I guess that is why it is called the Living Word.) I came to realize

(Grapple continued on page 18)

that the days I spend preparing for

Grapple, I would experience a sense of

peace throughout the entire day. Since

then, and because of that fact, I have

made my relationship with Him a

priority. I take every day to spend time

with Scripture.

I am convinced that it is when we use

our passions/gifts for the glory of God,

that the time and effort we put forth

will always pale in comparison to the

Heaven Sent blessings we receive.

Michigan Technological University in

Houghton, Michigan, and a 2010 graduate

of Buffalo High School. His parents are

Kurt and Vicki Schenk, members of Zion.

On Saturday, October 8, a house fire

destroyed the home of Tyler and his three

roommates. No one was injured in the fire,

however, the home and all belongings,

including vehicles, were a total loss. The

university acted quickly in providing

shelter for the students at the Hillside

residence hall, money up front for

essentials, books, school supplies, and t-

shirts.

A fund has also been set up at Wells Fargo

Bank to assist the students. Donations can
