With the approach of school days once again, the leaders of the Young Women and Young Men organizations combined efforts to have a career panel to present a variety of future employment possibilities. In addition to job descriptions there was ample time for questions and answers. Most of those participating on the panel are currently residents of the Mink Creek community. Occupations included were: diesel mechanic, doctor, nurse, military, teacher, farmer, geotechnical engineer, retired FBI agent, commercial real estate and therapist. This activity was well attended and was a time of expanded learning for all connected. There were refreshments of homemade carrot cake to top off the evening.
Hazen Baird, son of LaRon and Liesa Baird, was ordained an Elder in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints this past week. Friends and family witnessed this occasion, among them were grandparents Terry and LeAnn Orton and Lana Baird and her husband Paul Swainston. The new Elder Baird will begin his missionary service in October.
There has been a recent change in the Sunday School Presidency of the Mink Creek LDS Ward. The new president is Kasey Haws with Wynn Costley as his First Counselor and Walter Iverson as the Second Counselor. Released after years of service in these positions were Terry Westerberg, president and Kim Bullock and Paul Auger, counselors. Robert Crosland was released as the First Counselor in the Stake Sunday School for the Preston East Stake organization.
Our highway 36 is looking spiffy, thanks to the state crew with the new paint up, fix up business this past month. The summer traffic is heavy this year, day and night. One of our resident deer was taken out the other night and I think that will leave 2 fawns orphans.
