WAY TO GO, TEAM YARD SALE!!

A HUGE shout out to Jennifer Greening, this year's Yard Sale Chair

Despite MANY challenges the week of the Sale, Jennifer and her team persevered.  Thank you to all who donated (a record amount of) items for the Sale.  And despite so many uncertainties, we had RECORD sales!!

Genni Lynn assisted Jennifer and great help coming from Connie Frieze, Joan Huey and Allison Wetzel.  And the real MVP's were Jennifer's husband, Kent and their neighbor who helped move donations and Jennifer's sister in law, Toni that helped a TON with setup and prep, during the sale and after.   

Thank you to ALL who helped in any way (donations, working setup, volunteering for a shift at the Sale and ~most importantly~ these folks who helped haul away and donate our leftovers after the sale:  

Anne Coker, Peggy Bergy, Connie Frieze, Mickey Maas, Donna Waller and Allison Wetzel.

GREAT JOB, EVERYONE!!

We sold 530 hotdogs - wow!!  And our booth had an increase over last year's sales.

Way to go - excellent job, hot dog team!!

Diane Keeble –

January 3, 1976, Diane and her husband, Bill as newlyweds, spent their honeymoon in LC – Diane’s first time to visit here. They stayed in Bill’s family’s cabin and he had been coming to LC since childhood. The Keeble’s bought a lot in 1989 and built their cabin in 1991 on the top of Red Mountain Drive in San Juan Ranch Estates.

When not in LC, the Keebles live in Abilene, TX where Diane was born and raised, moved back in 1979 and remodeled and restored their 1917 historic home. In Abilene, Diane is an ordained Deacon, Elder and sings in her church choir. She attends Community Presbyterian in LC when they’re in town.

Diane has 2 grown daughters and 5 grandkids. She enjoys hobbies of decorating, gardening, painting, baking, puzzles, fishing, and organizing.

When asked what Diane likes most about LC, Diane said, “The small mountain town and the community events which brings both residents and visitors together in harmony. Also, love for the many jeep trails, fishing and moose watching!”

Diane is involved with all the different aspects of PJWC and has hosted lunches, helped with the Hot Dog Booth, Yard Sale and Toast. She appreciates the mission of raising funds to support the non-profit organizations in LC and the dedication and willingness of PJWC members to work together with the various events.
