 Happy Spring!
| | |
I think all of us have been watching the progress of our building project, and are anxious to see the end result! We are doing our best to post photos of Facebook as the construction progresses. Be sure to check it out!
I hope you all are enjoying your spring break, whether you are traveling or simply having a 'staycation' in Grinnell with family. If you have any vacation photos, news, or items you would like to share, send them to me so I can include in a future newsletter!
From London,
Valerie
Director of Marketing

P.S. I wanted to share some of my recent photos taken in London - click here to view. Enjoy! |

Seeland Park Spotlight on:
Lyle Muckler | | |
 Lyle was born in Grinnell on March 18, 1928, to Irvin and Mary Ahrens Muckler. He is the second of three children. Lyle graduated from Newburg High School in 1945. Following graduation, he worked in the area and was drafted into the Army in 1950. He is a veteran of the Korean War.
In 1956 Lyle married Saundra Sue Robison in Grinnell. They had three children: Greg (Janet Fleener) of Grinnell, Lynda (Mike) Emmert of Hallstead, Pennsylvania, and Doug (Chris Simmons) of Durham, North Carolina. Lyle has ten grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
Lyle was employed at Miracle Recreation in Grinnell as Vice President for Shipping and Scheduling. He and Saundra moved to Monett, Missouri, in 1986 to continue working for Miracle after the Grinnell factory closed. Lyle retired in 1994 after 38 years.
In 1994, Lyle and Saundra returned and built a home in rural Grinnell. Saundra passed away in 1996 from a lung disease.
Lyle moved to Seeland Park in August, 2010. Welcome, Lyle! Back to Top

Home Shows 2011: Photos | | |
 A special thank you to all who volunteered and participated in this season's home shows! St. Francis Manor was able to participate in several shows this year: North Mahaska, Brooklyn, Montezuma, and of course, Grinnell. It takes a lot of coordination, and we couldn't have done it without you: Shelley Schrack for baking cookies for each show, Susie Jorth, Betty Hammond, Maleah Hill, Kayla Sherwood, Jessie Schaffner, and all the Marketing Committee at Seeland Park.
The Grinnell Chamber of Commerce quoted on their Facebook page that this year's home show was "Massive turnout at the expo! Thanks to our vendors and residents! Also great ideas at the Entrepreneurs Expo."
Check out our photos from our 2011 Home Shows HERE. Thanks also to Darlene Durand for taking photos at the Grinnell Home Show for us.
OurGrinnell.com also took many photos of the whole event, see them HERE.
