72nd Monthly Zoom Meeting

​On Saturday, May 16, 2026, only three of us met in the zoom lounge for almost two full sessions.

My grand daughter will be a 3rd generation Illini this fall and our family will be celebrating her graduation from Normal West High School on June 20 so there will NOT be a zoom lounge meeting in June.

Come join the conversation at our next meeting scheduled for July 18, at 2:00 pm Central.  Check your email just before the meeting for changes.

An Update for Eddie Wold

This was sent to us by a Facebook user on 6 May 2026:

Didn't know if these 2 would get to see each other again. So glad and heart warming to see this. Abigail wasn't able to go inside the hospital. Ty everyone for the prayers and thoughts. 
Update: Pops has been in the hospital and has been out for a week now in rehabilitation. Broke 4 ribs that happened from a fall amongst other complications that arised. In a couple weeks we'll see how progressions are and go from there on getting him situated back home or in a more assisted living situation. He's on the right track again. Thank u all.
