Glenmary Farm E-newsletter    Summer 2006
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Joe Grosek What's Happening. Over the summer we welcomed volunteers from north, south, east, west; Wild Woman hosted her 8,000th Farm volunteer; and, in August, we had a Farm manager reunion. I hope you'll enjoy reading about these and other recent happenings over the last three months! And, if you bookmark our Farm home page, you can keep up with what's going on between these e-newsletters by reading my Vanceburg View. God bless you as you plunge into new adventures in education, ministry and mission this fall.
Joe Grosek, Glenmary Volunteer Director
