He has worked in higher education for the past 19 years as an instructor, counselor, director and dean. He is currently the VP of Student Services for Gateway Technical College in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

Terry enjoys playing golf, cycling, listening to books on tape, cooking, the Northwoods and coaching his children’s sports teams. Sue, his wife, Olivia, his daughter and Adam, his son, are the pride and joy of his life. Terry is also the son-in-law of Fred and Pat Smith.

Reservations for the banquet can be made before and after worship or by calling Helen Schneeberger. The cost is $5.00 for adults. $3.00 for children ages 6-12, and under 6 is free.

Thanks to all who came to celebrate our AWANA year with our leaders and students. We especially appreciate the dedication of the parents and grandparents who invested the energy and effort to bring these beloved young people week after week and our large group of committed volunteers who invested so much energy and faith into the goal of the AWANA club — which is to reach boys and girls with the Gospel of Christ and train them to serve Him! We have had a fruitful year, with many enthusiastic and active young people age 3 thru 6th grade, and it is a joy to see them grow in their knowledge of the WORD and love for the Lord.

Following is a list of those volunteers that helped throughout the year:

• Piggies: Adam, Christina and Jan Boyer, Barb Leifheit
• Cubbies: Pat Smith, Diane Meinert
• Sparks: Sally Kuhlmeier, Vicki Thomas, April Zettle
• T & T: Mary Gallagher, Shirley Goeke, Connie Marty, Jean Bechtold, Joanne Meinert, Diane Schurch, Jim Kleckner
• Game Leaders: Duane Schurch, Paul Babler
• Leaders in Training: Heather Niedermeier, Maycee Zettle, Stephon Terpstra
• General Secretary: Amy McKee
• General Help: Fred Smith, Russ Ellis, Carol Olsen, Fred Meinert, Pastor Dick
• Commander: Deanna Babler

Thank you so much!
