every one of you.

appreciation to all the donations

On 8/26/09 the Clubhouse group,

along with some individuals from

the PATH Center, visited Sauder

Village. At this visit, the group

had the opportunity to tour the

new Pioneer Settlement that

Sauder Village had just opened.

They stepped back into time and

explored various places such as

the Lauber Settlement, a Long

Schoolhouse, the Witmer-Roth

Home, the Jail, Holdeman

Church, and some different farms.

They concluded the trip with a

picnic lunch at the Victory Barn.

A special thanks goes to North-

western Electric Company for

their generous grant money,

which made this trip possible.
