Mary Jo Stewart is still helping others through her work with the Good Samaritan Inn Soup Kitchen in Decatur. They serve as many as 300-400 people per day. I believe one of her specialties is homemade noodles!

She continues to be connected with 4-H and volunteers with the IFYE program statewide. Iowa and Wisconsin are also involved with this. She mentioned that she keeps in touch with Mary Kay Munson in Kansas through these efforts.

Her husband, Jim, has been having some health issues. They also had a trip to Branson planned for this year.

We received word this week that Dale Bateman of Monticello passed away on Sunday, October 19th. Not much information is available except that there will be a memorial service at Monticello United Methodist Church on Saturday, Oct. 25th at 10:00 a.m. Our condolences to his wife Margaret and the rest of the family.
