There is a follow up Family Wish Party to announce the wish, and the Foundation makes it happen.  Going to a Disney attraction is a popular wish. He talked about  “Give the Kids the World Village” that is separate from Disney World which is set up for handicapped kids.  There, they can swim in a heated pool, have ice cream at all hours, and there is medical staff on hand at all times.

The spotlight for the month was on Mary Denk.  She said she started teaching at age 19, and ended up teaching at Edgar for 30 years.  Her expertise was teaching reading.  One of the things she always wanted to do was to write a children’s book.  That dream was fulfilled when she had a book published recently titled “Anna’s Million Dollar Cow”.  It was illustrated by Mary Felten.  She had copies for us to purchase.  The book has global implications because it references a bridge to China that of “sister cities/rural areas” created by the dairy industry in Wisconsin,  linked to Chinese dairying efforts.
