Charlie Smith to retire from Post Office Hi Dave,
One of my employees over in Dana told me about Minonk Talk and I wondered if you would mind posting somewhere on your site about Charlie retiring? He has been carrying mail on the east side of town for 24 years and is retiring from the post office next week. His last day on the route is Friday September 26, 2014.
Thank you. Sue Wudtke
Fieldcrest South Playground Committee Joins Forces With the Schwan's Cares Fundraising Program Current Schwan'Community Members Can Help Us Reach Our Goal!South's PTO playground committee has launched a campaign to raise $1,000 to be put towards our overall goal of $20,000 for playground equipment. To help meet its goal, the Playground Committee is joining forces with Schwan's Home Service, Inc. by utilizing its Schwan's Cares™ fundraising program. This is how the fundraiser works: Supporters of the Playground Committee shop online from a selection of more than 350 Schwan's® home-style foods.The group then receives 20 to 40 percent of the proceeds from their campaign's online sales during the campaign period (typically 45 days), plus 5 percent on additional purchases from their supporters for a year following the start of the campaign. Campaign supporters will pay the same everyday price as all Schwan's Home Service customers, and the company's friendly and reliable team members will deliver the high-quality food orders directly to the supporters' homes. This means fundraising groups don't have to worry about getting Schwan's® orders delivered — Schwan's Home Service does it for them. Here's how to participate in the campaign: 1. Visit Schwans-Cares.com 2. Click on "Find a Campaign" on the home page 3. Enter Campaign ID: 14166 or Campaign Name, Fieldcrest South, in to the search box 4. Click the "Support Now" button 5. Shop! Or Call 1-855-870-7208 and provide Campaign ID: #14166 Thank you for helping us reach our goal! Gloria Ehrnthaller

Berniece Gaede celebrates 102 years Hi Dave,I wanted to let everyone know that Berniece Gaede will be celebrating her 102nd birthday on September 3rd. She resides at the Heritage home at 201 Locust St, in Minonk. She was married to Morris Gaede in 1931 in Edwards county IL, he died in March of 1988 there in Minonk. For those who remember, Morris and Berniece ran the Homestead restaurant there in Minonk for many years. I am sure she would love to hear from all her friends with a card or a phone call to her. She would enjoy having visitors as well. Judy Reeser
