We are now in the month of August. September is slowing but surly creeping upon us. September is awareness month and we have a few things planned, one in particular being the 5k walk. We need all the support and volunteers we can get to help raise awareness for this disease. If you would like to volunteer or have any ideas please do not hesitate to call or email us. The information is located on our page. We are looking forward to hearing from you.

Side Note: the August newsletter will be up as soon as possible.

Thank You

The number 13


The belief that the number 13 is unlucky is so widespread that its origins are unclear — different theories link it to Christian tradition (once again related to the Last Supper, where Judas is said to have sat at the thirteenth place at the table); Viking lore (the trickster god Loki being the thirteenth god); and the Persian zodiac (in which there are twelve signs, leaving the number thirteen to represent chaos.) The specific fear of Friday the 13th dates back to the 19th century, combining two old superstitions: the fear of the number 13 with the belief that Fridays are unlucky days.The morbid fear of the number 13 is technically known as "triskaidekaphobia", and is so common that many buildings have no floor 13 — going straight from 12 to 14.

Hello everyone, I pray you all had a blessed Mother's Day! I would love to hear what you did! Every Mother's Day my family visits my grandmothers grave in Beatrice and afterwards we took my mom to Red Lobster! We also took my fiance's mom and grandmother. We had a great time!
