How to Submit an Article to the Newsletter

I'm going to be a little indulgent this week. I have become a first-time Grandmother and it's Twins!!

Yes, my daughter Jennifer had a boy and a girl last Thursday and we left and drove straight through the night to Dallas Texas to meet our grandbabies.

I've joined the Granma club and Randy has become "Pawpaw"

So this newsletter is coming to you from Texas the next couple of weeks while I'm helping Jen and Justin with the babies.

I need your help. Please keep an eye out for photo opportunities. Send photos of past events. I would love topost the ball schedule on the newsletter. One of the best places to eat in Murdock is the concession stand.

See, the newsletter is for ANY important event of interest to anyone in Elmwood. Do you have a story about a former student doing something outstanding? Is a local Murdockian (is that a word??) an author? Maybe a resident got a new job worth bragging about?

If you would like to share additional photos from the Joy of Music please email them to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
