Shirley has lived here in Jordan for 49 years. She enjoys how peaceful and quiet it is, with lots of things for people to do. She likes that there aren't any malls or busy streets. She has done many things for the community, and the library.She ran the Fall Festival for 29 years, she's been on the board of Trustees for the library, she was a director at the library for a couple years, and she's the President of the Friends of the Library. She remembers when the library was were the Village Hall is today. For story hour they would move the firetruck out of the Village Hall, put cardboard on the ground and the they'd be ready for story hour. She also taught at Ramsdell Elementary. She taught 2nd grade for a while, and then she taught Kindergarten. She taught school for 26 years, and loved it! She always enjoyed the kids in her class, and missed teaching as soon as she retired. It's always nice to meet people who love teaching! :)

People of Jordan: Alicia

I decided it was about time to meet the new clerk at the Village Hall. So I stopped in, and Alicia greeted me with a smile. Alicia is the new Deputy Clerk Treasurer. She has worked here for 4 months, and she's getting used to small town politics. She enjoys interacting with different people everyday. She enjoys the small town feel. When I asked her about where she has worked before, she told me at a manufacturing plant in Syracuse. She said she worked with the quality control. They make different kinds of tomato sauce and purees. A thought suddenly occurred to me, so I asked her if it was the company that makes "Joey's", our favorite store-bought pasta sauce. It was! (I love Joey's Sauce!) Another interesting fact I discovered that she had danced a few years with my favorite ballet teacher! The song going through my head right now, is:

"It's a small world after all, it's a small world after all..."

9 days till camp!

Very excited that there is only 9 more days till camp! I will be learning how to effectively teach children memory verses and Bible stories.

1 Timothy 4:12-16

12 Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity. 13 Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation, to teaching. 14 Do not neglect the gift you have, which was given you by prophecy when the council of elders laid their hands on you. 15 Practice these things, immerse yourself in them, so that all may see your progress. 16 Keep a close watch on yourself and on the teaching. Persist in this, for by so doing you will save both yourself and your hearers.
