Exeter G.F.W.C. Woman's Club Celebrates Arbor Day, Welcomes Babies
For
28 years the Exeter G.F.W.C. has welcomed new babies born to families in the
old Exeter school district with trees, books, flowers and certificates.
As always, they tie the celebration to the Nebraska born holiday, Arbor Day which
is 149 years old this year.
Attendees
were welcomed by the Exeter Club President, Elaine Oldehoeft followed by a
welcome from the Exeter Mayor, Alan Michl. Michl read an Arbor Day
Observation Proclamation which encouraged “all citizens to support Arbor Day
and protect the trees in our community.”
Exeter-Milligan
superintendent Paul Sheffield also welcomed the new babies to the “Exeter-Milligan
Pack. The school is ready, willing and
able to assist you in any way.”
Sheffield
also presented the babies with a welcome gift from the school district.
Jill Schmidt of Fillmore County Good
Beginnings shared about the WHALE project which places vital identification
information on children's car seats to help rescue workers in the case of an
accident. She also let parents know about the Car Seat Learning Center which is
held the last Friday night of the month and gives parents the opportunity to
ask any questions about installing and using car seats and also gives away free
car seats.
G.F.W.C.
Arbor Day committee members shared next, with Bethine Leif explaining how the
program began. Committee Member Suzanne Johnson shared about the history of
Arbor Day and then Bethine explained that the group will be planting an
ornamental flowering tree at Gilbert’s Park with the names of the babies born
this year sealed in bottle to be placed in with the tree. The committee also
let the community know that this will be the last year they will be doing the
event unless someone can take their place within the woman’s club.
The
Exeter-Milligan second grade class presented a short play on the origin of
Arbor Day through the “eyes” of a statue of J. Sterling Morton. The
students reenacted scenes from Morton’s life which were instrumental in making
Arbor Day a national holiday.
At
the end of the program the Exeter G.F.W.C. presented books, certificates, a
copy of the Mayor's proclamation, seedling trees with planting instructions,
flowers for the moms and "our best wishes" to the new parents.
This
year the Exeter G.F.W.C. welcomed these eight babies: Issac Kenneth Ring, son Dillon
Ring and Chloe Breitbach, Gracelyn Lenae Becker, daughter of Zach and J.J.
Becker, Liam Michael Whitford, son of Shane and Deena Whitford, Thomas Wilfrid
Kallhoff, son of Dan and Liz Kallhoff, Braxton Alan Harre, son of Justin and
Sharlene Harre, Brooklyn Kay Lawson, daughter of Scott Lawson and Dawn Dowhy,
and Archer Keith Engert, son of Cory Engert and Brandy Nichols.
