Missing Sodus Happy Mother's Day to all the moms. (For some reason I always think it's later in the month. If it hadn't been for listening to a local disc jockey, my mom would have gotten her gift late.) And Dads: there is a Mother's Day Chicken BB-Q at the Fairville Fire Hall at 11 a.m. on Sunday. Also a Mother's Day Breakfast at the Lyons VFW from 8-11 a.m. If you're not sure what to get Mom, DeFisher Greenhouses, Ridge Rd., Sodus, opens for the season tomorrow. They'll be sure to have something nice for Mom. There's a Rummage Sale going on at the Sodus Third United Methodist Church. The sale today is from 9 to 6, and tomorrow is the $1 bag sale, 9 to noon. Been driving for so long: Ralph and Betty Everdyke left last Friday morning about 7 a.m. and drove as far as Rocky Mount, NC - 684 miles. They arrived in Newark on Saturday at 5 p.m. 'The weather was with us and we had no rain or storms all the way. It rained while we were sleeping in Rocky Mount, but it had stopped by the time we started on Saturday.' The distance from Rocky Mount to Newark was 599 miles with a grand total of 1284 for the two days. Ralph and Betty, it's nice to have you back. I hope this weather isn't to chilly for you. Eileen Steffler ( Hooper) said Florida is getting quite hot. News from the Chamber: Vendor space still available for the Olde Tyme Country Faire in Sodus, July 26, 27, 28. Call 315.483.4193.

Primary School News: The Sodus Primary School participated in Reading is Fun Week, and did you know that this week was Teacher Appreciation week, tool? On Thursday, Mrs. Southwick's Second Grade Class and Mrs. Witt's class went on a field trip to the l000 Acre Swamp Sanctuary. (I bet they had fun. My daughter had Mrs. Southwick and my son had Mrs. Witt - I don't think it's possible for those two teachers not to have fun!) On Friday, May l7 there will be no Pre-K classes due to Parent Meetings. On Saturday, May l8, from 9-l2 the Garden Club is having a Plant Sale. Intermediate School News: Thursday, May l6 and Fri., May l7 is the Fifth Grade Field trip for Mr. Heagle, Miss Steffler and Mrs. Brennan's classes.
