The wake for our friend, Ron Wagner is Monday from 4:00 - 7:00 p.m. at Shreffler’s Funeral Home in West Kankakee. The funeral will be held Tuesday at 11:00 a.m. at Shreffler’s.

This morning we lost our friend and Arbor Grove neighbor, Ron Wagner. He passed about 10:30 a.m. with his family around him. Ron has been battling cancer with the never ending help of his wife Jeanette.....he fought long and hard and we will miss him and his smiling face. Every time I asked him, “How ya doing?” He would smile and say “Oh just wonderful.” He’s fine now. Godspeed friend. Arrangements are pending..I will post updated information as soon as I get it.

Immediately following Tuesday Coffee on February 18th, the clubhouse will be closed so the carpets may be cleaned. The clubhouse will remain closed all of Tuesday and Wednesday to ensure carpets are thoroughly dry before anyone walks on them.

Thank you for your understanding.

For those of you who attended Secret Santa this past Wednesday, December 18th may have tasted Elaine Luedke praline crunch and said OMG I need that recipe. Please see her recipe below and enjoy!!!

ELAINE’S PRALINE CRUNCH
8 cups Crispix Cereal
4 cups pecan halves
½ cup brown sugar, packed
½ cup corn syrup, either light or dark, I used maple syrup
½ cup butter (not margarine)
1 tsp vanilla
½ tsp baking soda

Preheat oven to 250 degrees
Combine cereal and pecans
In a medium saucepan over medium high heat, combine brown sugar,
syrup and butter.
Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and baking soda. The soda will
make it foam up. When it is mixed, pour over cereal mixture tossing
to coat evenly.
Pour mixture into 9”x 13” pan. Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.
Pour onto wax or parchment paper to cool. After cooled, break into pieces.
