Thank you to all who took
grocery bags for our food
donations. We will take
donations to the Help Food
Warehouse and they will
give them to those in need.
If you wish to make a
donation to the Women’s
Support Shelter please
mark them and we will
deliver them for you. We
will continue to collect food
items for the Help Food
Warehouse through
December. You can leave
your donations in the
plastic tubs located in the
narthex. We will be happy
to deliver them. Thank you
for your continued support.
We hope you and your
family will have a Happy
Thanksgiving. -Social

LADIES GATHERING
The TLC Ladies group had
a very successful baby
shower on September
29th. This effort at
collecting much needed
infant items benefitted the
Premier Choice Pregnancy
Center. We learned a great
deal about the mission and
efforts of this group, had our
usual snacks and played
some games. We would love
to have all ladies of Trinity
Lutheran Church, their friends
and anyone you think might
be interested join us. Our
next activity will be a
combined purse party and
holiday craft make and take.
We will meet in the Church
library on Friday November
10 at 1:30. Please bring any
gently used purses, and/or
purse items - such as combs,
kleenix packs, wipes, or small
hand sanitizers or lotions.
We will begin by putting
together these purses and
items for donation to the
Emergency Support Shelter -
if you are unable to join us
but would like to bring
donated items please leave
them in the library. When we
are done assembling the
items for donation we will
work on a holiday make and
take art/craft item. This is a
great time for fellowship and
we always have lots of
snacks. In December we are
planning a cookie exchange -
hope you can join us.
(married to Chris) was born
in Los Angeles. His
Grandparents were from
Spain and his parents were
from Mexico. George started
playing drums in Jr. High and
picked up the congas after
high school when he was in
a band. After college he
went to Med School in
Nebraska where he got his
MD in Psychiatry. He
worked 3 years in General
Psychiatry and 2 yrs. in Child
and Adolescent Psychiatry.
He then went to Rapid City,
SD where he was Director of
Mental Health at the Sioux
San Hospital for the Indian
Health Services. Other
employment included 9 yrs.
in Tennessee in private
practice and California for 5
yrs. in a forensic state
hospital. He visited a friend
in Longview where Peace
Health recruited him but he
didn't care for the job so
went back to CA where he
worked in a maximum
security hospital for 8 yrs.
He retired from there but
worked locum tenen (a
healthcare worker who fills in
temporarily for other
healthcare workers). He was
introduced to Chris by a friend
in Longview and then moved
here. Something he has never
done but wants to is go to
Spain to visit where his family
is from. George volunteers for
Kiwanis and is on the Board
for Community House and
Core Health. He likes golfing,
baseball games, traveling
(especially to Hawaii) and he
and Chris play the card game,
5 Crowns, every day. (I
wonder who wins the most.)
Great to have you with us,
George.
Why did Adam and Eve do
math every day?
They were told to be fruitful
and multiply.
Why didn't Noah swat those 2
mosquitos?
If God is your co-pilot, swap
seats.
Why didn't Noah go fishing?
He only had 2 worms.
