The Rachubinski Family would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas. Be safe, be happy, and God bless!

We have calenders (Norman Rockwell and Religious) and pocket calenders if anyone would like some. Covid restrictions have made it hard for most to get to church and pick them up or even attend a funeral for a friend or loved one. If you leave your name and address and how many you would like and which type, we would be happy to drop them off to you. Thanks and Merry Christmas from the Rachubinski Family
