Last night the Richfield Village Board held a Special Meeting and the agenda had 2 items on it.

The group mostly covers songs from Tran Siberian Orchestra, but has since included several of their own original songs. The orchestra includes a wide range of instruments, vocals and styles. All of the music is celebration of the Christmas season and the Birth of Jesus as the Savior from sin.

SHEPHERD OF THE HILLS LUTHERAN CHURCH, HUBERTUS, WI 53033

Oh behalf of all the patients you're helping... Thank you! We can't do this without you!. As a loyal blood donor, Jim Gitter was a giver. But, a low iron count revealed a bone marrow disorder that led to leukemia. During treatment, Jim had a remarkable 450 red blood and platelet transfusions, which gave Jim six more years with his family before passing in December.

"I donate for the time we got with Jim, and so other families get time with their loved ones," says daughter-in-law Patty.
