ANNOUNCEMENTS
Thank you from the Tiedes
We want to thank the Luther community for the terrific "potluck" farewell you gave us last month. With the help of several of her friends, Karen Martin-Schramm, as is her custom, pulled the event together for fun, and fun it was. Harley Refsal's excessive praise was only surpassed by his beautifully handcrafted boxes, and the music offered by the Blair duo was delightful. We thank you!
P.S. The "Bottle of Bubbles" you gave us on Staff Day will find good use by our grandchildren on the Fourth of July! They thank you too!
Read on for the final "In the Luther Loop" from President Tiede.
