An attempt is being made to locate a couple of extra Letcher cookbooks for the Fred and Kathy Zoss family, who lost everything in a house fire recently. Specifically, they would be happy to get the green Letcher Community Club cookbook from the 1990s, and the yellow Letcher Centennial cookbook from 1983. If you’ve got an extra that you don’t use, please contact Sherri Stekl at stekl@santel.net.
 
The new Blackhawks School Song, as approved by both school boards, is to the tune of “The Minnesota Rouser.” The new words and a link to the tune can now be found both on www.sanborncentral.com and the Sanborn Central mobile app.
