Card Shower for Lee

========================================================

  

---

The family of Lee Jackson is planning a card shower for her 80th birthday on February 16.
Lee taught 5th grade at Sugarcreek Schools for 22 years.
She and her husband, Don, co-founded Jackson's Farm Market.
She is a member of Eleazer UMC and volunteers as a "salad lady" at Common Cup dinners at Faith Community UMC as well as helping at the local FISH pantry.
Cards may be sent to 3170 Eleazer Rd. Xenia, OH 45385.
Note: One of the Wednesday night volunteers thought this news should be sent to the Wednesday night volunteers ---- We think it should be sent to all the CC subscribers (except Lee Jackson- we're leaving her off)

Paintersville Church On the Auction Block

---

Last Tuesday (April 06), the Paintersville church building and lot was auctioned off to the highest bidder.

The building has been under the care of Eleazer church after the two memberships merged in October 2008.

It was very evident that most of the crowd were not bidders but were former members returning to witness the fate of the place where they had worshiped for so many years.

To see some of the auction action, go to our website Photo Gallery.

Oh- how much did it bring, you asked?  Better ask someone from Eleazer- I'm not sure I've got the figure right.

---

Sep. 25, 2009 We just never know what the good Lord has in store for us.

Just a few short months ago, Esther Hofferbert was seriously injured in an automobile accident marking a low point in her life.

Today, she has fully recovered and Ann Ledbetter informs us that tomorrow (Saturday) she will mark a high point in her life.

Ann reports:

"Esther Hofferbert of Paintersville/Eleazer church will be inducted into the Greene County Hall of Fame Saturday 26 at the Walnut Creek Country Club on the Dayton-Xenia Road. The awards program follows lunch"

Esther was a long time member of Paintersville UMC before it closed and merged with Eleazer UMC, where she now spends her Sunday mornings.

Esther Hofferbert in Auto Accident

July 01, 2009

Esther Hofferbert was in a very serious automobile accident a few days ago and is still under intensive care at Miami Valley Hospital.

She is in a neck brace with a cracked vertebrae, some compression concern in lower back, multiple bruises, and breathing problems. She wears a breathing mask to keep her lungs clear. Her hands are retrained because of the unbearable pain.

Esther is one of those people who lives to help others. She is a faithful member of Eleazer UMC and spends most of her time volunteering in the area.

Many of the desserts at the Wednesday night Food Court are Esther's

Her desserts at the Common Cup Dessert Auctions bring premium bids ("Chocolate to die for", etc).

She volunteers at the Spring Valley Senior Center's dining hall, doing the humble work of picking up trays and dishes and bringing refills to the diners. She also furnishes cakes & pies.

Esther is a retired registered nurse, earning her masters degree at Miami U and was a nursing instructor at Miami Valley Nursing School.

It looks as if Esther will have a long road back to recovery and the people at Eleazer and neighbors are already attending to some of her chores.

Esther needs our prayers to see her through. It may be early for too many hospital visits but sending her a card would certainly help her through.

Her hospital address:Esther Hofferbert, Miami Valley Hospital , Room 3207, 1 Wyoming Street, Dayton, OH 45409
