The well problems at our community center turned out to be easily fixed, so with a prompt repair by Jacob from DP Drilling, we were able to reopen on Saturday, September 3.
Ted and Karen Meyers need to give away some fish! They are alive and well and swimming in their pond – too many of them. These goldfish range in size from three to ten inches long, and they are all free to a good home. They were raised in an outdoor pond, so may not do well in a fishbowl. If you don’t have a pond, but know someone who does, please pass along this information to them as this fish population needs to be downsized quickly.

We send out Rainbows-of-Sapphires-and-Asters to Sherry Hague who celebrates her special day this week. Happy birthday, Sherry!
The Wonder Valley Book Program is like a little library right here at our community center. There are lots and lots of books of every kind, plus movies and audio books to check out for a whole month. Come in and look around.
Handy Hint: Last week we added some information to the hint of using vinegar as a fabric softener, and today we need to add some more. It has been brought to our attention that essential oils can be toxic to a cat, specifically its liver. They should not be allowed to inhale, consume or touch essential oils, or anything containing essential oils, to avoid the possibility of harm.
Thought for Today: Where there’s a will, there are relatives.
Until next time . . . remember to take time to enjoy the WONDERs all around us.
