Lions Club Member Recognized for 60 Years
Roy Wangerin was presented the Milestone Chevron Award, from Lions Club International, by president Joan Nech. This award is aptly named because the chevron symbol is typically used in reference to a badge or insignia to indicate rank or length of service. Roy has been a member of Kensington Lions Club for 60 years.
Lions Clubs International recognizes the anniversaries of members like Roy because it reminds members of the milestones in their lives. Roy's ripple effect of service has touched the lives of many in our community and deserves to be celebrated.

Christmas Program 2018
Thunder Ridge K-3 and High school held their annual Christmas program Tuesday evening, December 11, under the instruction of new music teacher Annie Adams. Special guests Kristi Reneberg and Dave Hutson helped to accompany certain songs and the audience was involved too in singing Silent Night. The K-3rd grades shared special vocal numbers, some incorporating hand instruments to show how the students have been learning rhythm and beat. Following the K-3rd, the High School choir and band performed. It was a wonderful evening of beautiful music and Christmas spirit.

Weekly Inspiration
When you can't control what's happening around you, challenge yourself to control your response to it.
Happiness comes easier when you stop complaining about your problems and start being grateful for all the problems you don't have.
If you have a hard time believing in yourself, remember who you were before the world taught you to doubt yourself. Don't see yourself through the eyes of those who didn't see value in you. Know your worth even if they didn't. - Tee R.
