Our good friend Laura Burghardt is at Oak Valley Rehab and Nursing Center in Oakdale. Laura would love visits from her friends, please drop in and say hello if you can! Laura and her husband Glenn have been a very important part of our Valley Home Community for many years. Laura wrote the Valley Home News for 38 years and has volunteered at most all dinners and fundraising efforts in Valley Home. Laura and husband Glenn had the honor of being the first Grand Marshals of our Valley Home Community Lighted Christmas Parade 14 years ago! Laura, we hope you feel better very soon ... We love you and appreciate all you have done over the years for our community!

Last week Cindy Fleischer had the opportunity to have a quick chat with our Valley Home School Custodian Dennis McCutcheon, Cindy stopped by the school to let Dennis know how he and his staff are appreciated! A long time Valley Home resident, Cindy has seen the school in good times and in some not so good times in terms of upkeep. She noticed that our Valley Home School was looking especially beautiful and stopped to share the appreciation with Dennis. We send a huge thank you to all who have worked so hard to make our school look so nice!
