Shepards, Rufus and Dodi. They are well trained in the German Schutzhund sport, which focuses on obedience, protection, and tracking. His other hobbies include working in his garden and classic cars. When she is not working, Pam enjoys baking and cake decorating. She often makes the communion bread for the church. Her latest interest has been learning to make Chrismons. She even gave them as gifts to family and friends at Christmas. The Rosemans are grateful that they found Grace Lutheran Church many years ago. "What we love most are the people and the sense of community,” says Dan. "The variety of programs and ministries, especially for children, is great!" he adds.
Ready Rosie (Great to Explore during the summer) The Rowan-‐Salisbury School System is providing you with free resources to help you work with children in your life to help them develop essential skills for success. You do not have to have a child in RSSS, you only have to live in the district (you must enter your ZIP code to register). Three stages/ages of readiness are addressed: Ready Baby (birth-‐3), Ready Rosie (3-‐4), and Bringing Up (5-‐8). Simply visit https://readyrosie.com/register. There is a web-‐based platform and an app-‐based platform. Contact Jennifer Sloop with any questions ([email protected])*Note from Megan…I downloaded Ready Rosie and Audrey has enjoyed watching the short videos. That said, they are really geared to the parent/caretaker to show adults how everyday tasks, like grocery shopping, cooking or even waiting in line can be a fun learning opportunity, and more importantly an opportunity to engage with your children.

Pam Roseman was born in Greenville, Michigan. She recieved her Bachelors degree from Grand Valley State University in 1991. After college, she moved to North Carolina for work at Rowan Regional Hospital. Pam continued her education, earning her Masters degree in 2001 and her Doctorate in 2011, both from the University of St. Augustine in Florida. She is currently a Physical Therapist with Gentiva Home Health. The Rosemans met at the YMCA and quickly became "running buddies", as Pam recalls. "We are still running together." she added. They were married in 1994 at Messiah Lutheran Church. They have 2 children, Raegan Prest and Alden Roseman. They also have 3 grandchildren: Hunter (8), Alyssa (7), and Avery (2), who all love attending church with "Nana and Poppaw" whenever possible. Family lunch after church has become a cherished tradition. After Alden was born, Dan and Pam began searching for a church that offered more children and youth activities. They found what they were looking for only a mile from their house. They visited Grace in late 2001, joined in 2002, and have been active members ever since. Dan is involved with the Lutheran Men in Mission, has served on church council, taught Sunday School, and helps with the Cub Scouts. Pam was a member and secretary of the Ilene Wise Circle and has served on various committees. Together, they play handbells and enjoy working on the LMIM Fish Fry each year. The Rosemans both enjoy a healthy and active lifestyle. They are longtime members of the Salisbury-Rowan Running Club. Dan was featured in the Salisbury Post recently, detailing his journey and completion of, "The Last Marathon," in Antarctica in 1999. Pam is a skilled cyclist and often competes in triathalons.

National Cancer Survivor Day: On National Cancer Survivors Day®, Sunday, June 5, 2016, we will honor those in our community who are living with and beyond cancer. NCSD is a day for everyone, whether you're a cancer survivor, a family member, friend, or medical professional. This day provides an opportunity for America’s more than 14.5 million cancer survivors to connect with other survivors, celebrate milestones, and recognize those who have supported them along the way. “A survivor is anyone living with a history of cancer – from the moment of diagnosis through the remainder of life,” according to the National Cancer Survivors Day® Foundation. We will join hundreds of communities worldwide in celebrating life as part of the 29th annual National Cancer Survivors Day®. Thousands of cancer survivors, caregivers, family members, friends, and healthcare professionals will gather across the globe to honor cancer survivors and to show the world that life after a cancer diagnosis can be fruitful, rewarding, and even inspiring. NCSD is also a time to bring attention to the ongoing challenges cancer survivors face. Major advances in cancer prevention, early detection, and treatment have resulted in longer survival. However, a cancer diagnosis can leave a host of problems in its wake. Physical, emotional, and financial hardships often persist for years after diagnosis and treatment. We are encouraging everyone to attend church on June 5th wearing red, blue and white in celebration to show your support for our community’s cancer survivors, their families, friends, and healthcare providers. The event is a cooperative effort of our Health and Wellness Committee and the National Cancer Survivors Day®Foundation, and is supported nationally by Astellas, Bristol-‐Myers Squibb, and Coping® with Cancer magazine. http://www.ncsd.org/index.htm
