Be Thankful Contest Winner

Recently my mom held a contest called the 'Be Thankful' contest. People could submit a person or family that they were thankful for. The winner would receive a $50 gift certificate to a local restaurant.

Well the winning entry was sent in by Dave and Judy Weiss and here is a portion of their submission.

Congratulations Gale and Rita!

I would like to nominate a great family from Omro. The family consists of the parents, Gale, Rita and their eight children. Gale works evenings and Rita home schools the children who range in age from four to thirteen. I see Rita and the children in church each Sunday and they are so well behaved. The kids are very likable. Twice a month Rita teaches Science at the home schoolers meeting. She also attends a Bible study on Tuesday evenings while the 13 year old babysits - something Rita feels a bit of guilt about, but feels she needs the fellowship of other women. This family needs mom and dad to have a night out. It's been a long time for them and I thank you for considering them as you search for the right folks for your award.
