Operation Give
The American Legion Auxiliary of Richmond
is again teaming up with Operation Give to
collect items to send to our troops for Christmas.
We would like to thank Richmond City for
allowing us to have a container at the city office
where you can bring your donations. We want to
show our appreciation to those who are serving
our country. Along with items, we would like to
send cards and letters, whatever you can give will
be appreciated. This is something that can be
done by individuals, families or groups.
In honor of Veterans Day we and the Lions
Club will be having Billy and Jessica Nilson
speak about his service and how it affected him
and his family, on Thursday, November 5, at 7:30
p.m. in the city building. We invite everyone to
come and hear their story. That is also a time you
could bring anything you would like to have us
send. Thank you for showing your support to the
troops!

last year's effort.

Congratulations!!
Harold Thomson of Richmond was presented
The Thomas Jefferson Award for weather reading
for the National Weather Service. This award was
presented to him on Friday, September 11, 2015,
before a group of friends and family at the
Richmond Community Building and is given to an
observer because of their dedication and accuracy.
To qualify for the award, an observer must have
a track record of at least 25 years continuous
observations. His grandfather, J.R. Thomson,
began reading the weather for Richmond in 1911.
In 1959, Harold's father, Verno, read it for about 9
years, and Harold has read it since 1968. It's been
in the family for 104 years. Harold received an
award in 2011 for having it in the family for 100
years.
"We really enjoy it. It's fun to do," he said.
"When it was in the family, I just wanted to keep
it going. My dad and granddad had done it so
that's why I decided I wanted to keep it going.
Without the help of our children and Tina and
Craig Reese and a few other friends, we would not
have been able to keep it going so we would like
to thank all of those that have helped us keep this
tradition in our family. It has been fun and very
rewarding."

October 18-24 is National Teen Read Week
so this is a call to all teens! This year’s theme is
Get Away @ Your Library. Come in and put
your name in the drawings, check out the
librarians’ favorite teen books, add your “favorite
read” to the bulletin display, and of course there
will be a treat for any teen coming in the library
every day of the week. Research shows that teens
who read for fun have better test scores and are
more likely to succeed in the workforce, so the
library is a great place to “get away” and find
your next fun read. Come in and make this a great
Teen Read Week celebration.
A Big Thanks to Sharik and Cheryl Peck for
our September library lecture where they shared
their amazing experiences in Ecuador and the
Galapagos Islands and also the info about their
