July 2010 Parent Newsletter
“Welcome!” What a wonderful word! The many gracious greetings of staff, parents and church members have made our family’s move here such a blessing. For those hands who prepared such delicious meals, our appetites wish to thank you! Our family is unpacked and settled into our new home. Our daughter, Abbey, is adjusting wonderfully to the CDC summer camp program and the staff of the CDC has shown me an extra measure of patience as I adjust to “life behind the director’s desk”! My husband, Bob, is still in search of a job. Thank you to those who have offered assistance in this search. Your prayers and support during our transition time have been a blessing.
The children here at the CDC have enjoyed swimming and water play, field trips, hometown tours and Christmas in July! The happy voices down the hall confirm that statement! Our hearts are sadden, however, to say goodbye to both Dee Mitchell and Darlene Rockenbach. Darlene will be starting a new preschool this fall for the Centennial Schools in Utica. We want to thank both women for their dedicated service and ask God’s blessing on their new endeavors. We wish them only the best.
We look forward to home visits and the start of the new school year on August 17th.
May God continue to bless us in our ministry to young children.
In His Service,
Rebecca Bimler
St. John Child Development Center, Director
