| Roof Collapses Thursday Night
The roof of the back of the former Co-Op grocery store building on Main St. collapsed Thursday night about 7:00 p.m. The brick building was constructed in the early 1900's and had been empty the last five years since the Flower Girls business closed.

| Blood Drive January 16 in Lost Nation
The Lost Nation Community sponsored a blood drive for the Mississippi Valley Regional Blood Center on Monday from 2:30-6:30 p.m. at Bethlehem Lutheran Church. The goal was to collect 30 units of blood.
There is a great need for blood donors, especially with rare blood types such as O Negative. Donating is easy, and for every person who donates, at least three patients will benefit.

| Community Quilting Has Begun
Several women from the area met on Monday, January 9, at Bethlehem Lutheran Church, Lost Nation, to begin the quilting season. They will meet every Monday, January - March 26 from 8:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. A potluck lunch is enjoyed at noon. Anyone interested in helping with this project is most welcomed. You may come whenever your schedule permits.
On Thursday, January 5, Ellen Pithan, Diana Ihns and Rochelle Busch met at the church to sort the material that had been donated the past year. A big "thank you" to all who remembered them with fabric and sheets for liners. It is greatly appreciated.
Approximately 100 quilts are made most years. This year's quilts will be on display during Bethlehem's "Peter Rabbit Hollow Bazaar" on Saturday, March 31.
