The Hannah Sacred Ensemble, a choral group led by Ken Hannah, shared their joyous Christmas carols with Lakeview Hospice patients and their families at The Gathering at Boutwells Landing on December 20. The patients enjoyed singing along with some of their holiday favorites. This local choir has shared their gift of music with hospice patients over the past several years.

An anonymous donor gave each of the 53 seniors at St. Agnes High School (St. Paul) a gift of $1,000 to give to the charity of their choice. If all 53 seniors participate, an additional $10,000 will be given to the school by the anonymous donor. Tim Thein of White Bear Lake, a senior at St. Agnes High School, knew exactly where he wanted to donate his check. His grandma, Anne Thein, was a patient at Lakeview Hospice in 2009. “They had a big impact on us. They really touched me,” Thein says of his experience with hospice. “You guys helped us a lot, and we wanted to return the favor.
Students were encouraged to choose a charity that they had a connection to or one that they had seen do good for others first hand. On Dec. 22, Tim Thein presented Lakeview Hospice with a $1,000 check. The money will have a direct benefit on hospice patients and their families, some of whom do not have health insurance or a place to go.

Don Hoye's sunrise over the Stillwater Lift Bridge photo is one of the coolest shots of the bridge I've seen. Thanks for sharing, Don.

Don Hoye's bridge pic made me feel cold, but inspired. Bryan Ring's fairway shot made me grab my putter and take a few swings. Shawn's pic of the little guy made me smile. Great pics!

How did you get image 51, Jeff? That's AMAZING! I'm a big fan of macro photography (but don't have the equipment to pull it off) ... Is that a blue sky and the sun in the background? I see the use of a flash, too? Am I correct?

Shawn--I can't give away all my secrets--lol. It was taken in my front yard tree and since I didn't like the gray background color I simply grabbed a school project my son did in school, held it up and used it as the background which made it a lot more interesting.
