It’s Thursday night, which means off to Target the families go! Every Monday and Thursday night the RMH van brings families to Target from 6:30pm - 8:00pm. Sign-up on the bulletin board.

Friday

The Target group came to make us a yummy dinner! The RMH is grateful for all the meal groups who come to make the families a meal.

Meet our staff- Each week one of the staff members is highlighted...

Meet Donna! She has been at RMH as a member of the development/advancement team for five years. One of her favorite things about her job is meeting new people, and telling them stories about how the RMH helps the families who stay here. Donna loves to take pictures! She frequently takes photos of special activities at the house and also groups who bring things to the house.

Donna lives in River Falls, WI with her husband Terry. She has two children – a daughter and son-in-law who live and work in Chicago, and a son who is in the Navy on an aircraft carrier on the other side of the world. She also has a 4 ½ year old grandson, Donovan. She enjoys playing with him every weekend! Donna is originally from East Tennessee. She met her husband, a native of MN, at the University of Minnesota. She considers MN her home, even though she lives across the border in WI. However, she definitely doesn’t sound Minnesotan when she pronounces the words yellow and orange!

Donna frequently gives tours of the House to donors, so if you see her wondering around the building, shout hello! Her office is across from the small staff kitchen. If you’d like to see early photos from when the house was first opened in 1979, stop in!

Around the house....

Say hello to Ireland! She and her dad like to swing on the wooden swing in the courtyard.

Things to look forward to....

Monday is special cooking night! Come to HOUSE TWO kitchen at 6:30pm and make cute bunny cupcakes.

Feeling a little stressed? At 6:00pm on WEDNESDAY night, there will be chair massages provided. Stop by the HOUSE FOUR fireplace, put your feet up, and relax.
