Dear Family,
Chris Derbyshire recently received a letter from Bob Meyer, our second-cousin in North Dakota. In the course of the letter, he mentioned the upkeep of the Lom Church and Cemetery where Grandpa and Grandma Myhren, Aunts Aline & Olga and others are buried.
He didn't ask for help, but we and Chris believe its our generation's turn to step up and help with the upkeep of the routine maintenance. Chris noted that the Lom Church's annual budget for maintenance is $3-4,000 and their yearly revenues are less than $6,000.
At this point we're planning on taking up a donation at next year's family reunion (tentatively set for Camp Makuala) to be sent in the name of the Oregon Myhren Cousins, but if you are able to contribute anything to the Lom Church between now and then, please let us or Chris Derbyshire know. We can get Bob Meyer's address to you ASAP.
Here's wishing you all a beautiful Fall. Please let other family members know about this site so we can keep as many as possible in the loop. Thanks.
