This year’s Cookies for Christmas was a huge success. It could not have happened without the leadership of our chairwoman, Amy Stuart the helpers, the bakers, the set up and tear down crews and of course the buyers. THANK YOU!      

2024 Annual Chautauqua Bake Sale was rained out…however it was moved to the back of Prince of Peace and it was a huge SUCCESS! Many thanks to all who helped make it that way. A special thanks to our Chairman Cathy Fox, the ladies who worked the tables and those that baked!

Shawe Seniors Zachary Gish and Kira Wells gave a great presentation at Jewell Place Assisted Living facility in Madison. 
         These two students interviewed a resident of Jewell Place, Lt. Colonel Glen Fisher, and put together a presentation for him on his 98th birthday! 
         Lt. Colonel Fisher is a World War 2 veteran who has many military accomplishments.  These students set up an interview, with the help of the Prince of Peace Ladies Organization, with Mr. Fisher where they asked him many questions about his life and his military background.
         They then put together a slide show presentation and presented it to many residents and staff members at Jewell Place, along with the members of the Prince of Peace Ladies Organization.  During their presentation, Mr. Fisher was presented with a plaque to honor his service and accomplishments as a cake to celebrate his birthday.  A job well done by Zachary and Kira!
