2025’s Cookies for Christmas was a huge success. It couldn’t have happened without the leadership of our chairwoman, Amy Stuart; the helpers; the bakers; the setup and teardown crews; and, of course, the buyers. THANK YOU!
The 2025 Annual Chautauqua Bake Sale is the Ladies’ Organization’s largest fundraiser. Rain or shine, the ladies make it happen. 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 who baked!
Zachary Gish and Kira Wells gave a great presentation at the 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 II veteran with 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 slideshow presentation and presented it to many residents and staff members at Jewell Place, along with 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!
