Glenn Ivers to speak on October 19th at 2pm

Regretfully, Kurt Jordan, our speaker for the October 19th program had to cancel due to a family emergency. We are pleased that our November speaker, Glenn Ivers, was available and able to move his program up to accommodate us.

Glenn Ivers, who wrote "Angels of Bastogne" will share the story of the courageous medical team of American doctor Jack Prior and Belgian nurses Renee Le Maire and Augusta Chiwy. Together this team saved many lives while under siege and bombardment in Bastogne, Belgium during the Battle of the Bulge fought during World War II in December 1944.

This is a program you will not want to miss! The story is beautiful and courageous. It

honors the people and soldiers who fought in this battle for freedom while tenderly caring for the wounded and those who died.

Admission is free and refreshments will be served. Remember the time - 2PM.
