Remember how exciting it was to graduate and be ready to be out in the world and working, making a living for yourself and loving life?  I do and I want to go back.  I’m tired.  Seriously, I’m tired.  I love my job and the people I work with so why is it so hard to get up in the morning? Could it be that I’m just getting a little older? NAH I won’t believe it. I am just as young and spry as I used to be right? Ha!

Really, I want to congratulate all of this years high school and college graduates.  It is a tremendous accomplishment.  Now, get out there and work. I’m tired.

I was out downtown last week when I ran into someone who wanted to talk about the Miracle Marathon.  You see this man had just had his child admitted to Children’s Hospital and he wanted to tell me that this year he would be donating during the marathon.  I was saddened by the man’s story, but pleased with his decision to help out.  That kind of thing happens a lot.

There are many people, who through no fault of their own, don’t understand how great Children’s Hospital is. They are forced to accept the fact after they become personally involved with the building and its employees.  I understand that completely. Life is busy and we are all busy in it.  We live each day in our worlds and if someone elses’s world intersects great.

Please don’t wait for your life to be directly affected, donate now and insure this hospital will continue to be our Children’s Hospital.  Our Miracle Marathon starts on Wednesday and continues through Friday.  You can go to the WKLH website and donate.

Trust  me, you will not regret it.

Hey All,

It is time to get ready for the Miracle Marathon. We are already very excited and we have set out sights on having a great three day event. 

If you have a story about Children’s Hospital that you would like to tell, feel free to e-mail us and we can read it during the Marathon.

If you can see it in your heart to donate please do.  We are so lucky to have this facility so close and ready whenever someone you know or love may need it. Please consider making a donation.  There is a link on the WKLH website. 

Be a part of something really big.

Thanks,

Carole

It was a great pleasure to be able to take the show north last week as we broadcast from the beautiful Sargento cheese factory.  It was a lot of fun and a little relaxing.  Yes, I said relaxing. Since it is a little bit of a drive we were able to make our way up on Thursday and spend the night at the Osthoff Resort in Elkart Lake.  If you have never been to Elkhart Lake, make a point to visit this summer.  I really believe I have found a new favorite place. 

Elkhart Lake is a quiet little community with great resorts and great restaurants.  It is an easy drive and a really great way to decompress.  You can relax at the spa or you can golf, boat, ride bikes or just side and have a glass of wine or beer near a quaint little lake.  It is one of those vacations where you can just spend your time doing as much as you want. If you want to go, go, go you can. If you want to do nothing, you can. I prefer to take a little time and do nothing.

There are many different events and celebrations planned for the summer. It’s easy to find out about them just go the Elkhart Lake Chamber of Commerce website.  It’s all there. Why not give it a try.
