Community calendar:
Sunday, Oct. 4: Friends of Rippey will meet on at 6:30 pm in the community room.

If we follow our past history we will have the breakfast this day. Keith Devilbiss will provide an update regarding the Rippey School Memorial. Other projects and items may be discussed also, as the group hasn’t met for a while.
This group had their first meeting April 22, 2001, with a few interested people. Since then we have added many people that have an interest in our little town and several projects have been completed. Anyone who is interested in the town and making it a better place to live, is welcome to attend. Contact Mary Weaver for further information at 360-8046 or mweaver235@gmail.com

News in and around Rippey:
On Sunday, Sept. 27, Jean Borgeson visited with her aunt Virginia Siglin, who is currently in the skilled care unit of Legacy Pointe in Waukee. Virginia fell a few weeks ago and underwent a partial hip replacement. Jean also visited with Pam Sanders, who lives in one of the Legacy Pointe town homes that surround the complex that Virginia is in. The women had a nice visit.
