This includes all residents, former residents and friends of the area who would enjoy getting together for visiting and reminiscing.

We do want you to keep this date °pen for what we are sure will be a most enjoyable time for everyone. OCCUPANTS OF RESIDENCE CHANGE We regret to see Jeff and Barb Hanson leave our community but we welcome Jim and Barb LaGreca and their son who have moved into the house. Jeff and Barb were desirous of making a change and so ,with their children, Britta and Keith, have moved to Marquette, Wis., where they are running the village grocery, fi you are driving through Marquette, we are sure they would welcome a greeting. When the Hansons decided to make the move, their property w4s sold to the Ringwood United Methodist church. The LaGrecas were former residents of Wonder Lake until their move to Chicago, so moving back to the area is like home for them. •° A CHOIR REHEARSAL Members of the Ringwood church choir will meet at 7 p.m. Wednesday time at the Greenwood-Ringwood picnic last Sunday. There were about SO in attendance and those who were not participants in the volleyball and baseball games, were the spectators. Even the honeybees j( the picnic so everyone was quite cautious about each morsel of food that went into their mouth. Little Jaime Gamen was the unlucky one to be stung by a bee but fortunately she did not have much of a reaction from the sting. Other than the inconvenience of befesC it was a great picnic and we appreciate the efforts of the young people in making it a success.

Should he buy a service contract to go along with i t? ' There are two sides to ser­ vice contracts, says Dr. Thel- ma Hinson, extension family resource management spe cial ist at North Carolina State Universi ty. First appliance repair bil ls can demand a lot of money. So a service contract may be a good idea, especially if a shopper knows it might be hard to come up with S150 to fix a machine. Imhiscase, the S25 service contract may be a wise investment. "However," Dr. Hinson says, "research shows that most appliances break down in the first year. And these are usually covered by a war­ ranty anyway." If a buyer could handle a major repair bil l without too much of a financial bind, and if he is wil l ing to take a chance that the appliance will hold up after the"warranty runs out, a service contract may not be necessary. - SCHOLARSHIP WINNER The McHenry County Defenders are pleased to announce the selection of Bryan Petrucci of 7302 Manor road, Crystal Lake, as the recipient of the 1982 Alta« Rush Titus Scholarship award.
