Throwback Thursday June 5, 2011

 

6/5/2011

Exeter Post 218 American Legion recently honored five of its members for 65 years of membership with the American Legion. All of these men served in World War II in a variety of locations. The men honored were Richard Manning, Ted Larsen, Alva Smith, Del Jensen and Frank Tauriella.

Derek Ryan Miller received his Doctor of Podiatric Medicine degree from Des Moines
University in the College of Podiatric Medicine and Surgery at the one-hundred and
 eleventh Annual Commencement Ceremony.  It was held on Saturday, May 28, 2011.
Derek is the son of Bill and Shari Miller of Clay Center.  His grandparents are Roger
and Suzanne Johnson of Exeter and Wilma and the late Donald J. Miller of Geneva, NE.

 Exeter Cub Scouts in Pack 218 learned about how a compass works at the Down at the Farm Daycamp at Wessels Living History Farm near York.  Cub Scouts attending were Alec Schlueter, Ben Bartu, Mikey Bartu, Jackson Beethe and Peytan Brandt.

 

Exeter Public Library has begun their summer reading program this year with the theme of  "One World, Many Stories."

 

The library solicited coins and dolls from all over the world for the participants which are now on display.  Books were also chosen to reflect the theme.  Kindergarten and first graders enjoyed their first session reading stories and making their own travel suitcase. 

 

During the month-long program the participants will be able to fill out travel vouchers for each book they read and turn them into the library for a prize drawing.
