Retired school employees from across Stoddard County gathered Monday for their regular meeting at Hickory Log and in the process brought paper products to be donated to the Children's Home. Among the attendees, representing different areas of the county, are, left to right, Marge Elam (Richland), Debbie Bollinger and Nancy Lanpher (Advance), Phil Dawson (Bernie), and Marty Thompson (Dexter). The donation is one of several made annually through the PSREA group of retired school employees.
