NAME: ARLENE STOHR
KLUB: Mendota
MEMORY: I was a helper the very first year that Kids' Klub was organized. What a joy to see the kids that I taught become teachers. What a blessing it is to have the opportunity to lead children to the Lord!
NAME: CINDY SALISBURY
KLUB: Kasbeer, Also taught & helped in Tiskilwa for several years and Sparland this past year
MEMORY: I've been involved in 3 different Klubs over the years. My memories are of the children and watching their spiritual growth over the years. Young “hungry for the word” kids that grow up to be “still hungry and matured” adults. All of this because of Kids' Klub's desire to reach the children for Christ. Uncle Rene and Aunt Lynn are great mentors to all of us. Thank you

MEMORY: I remember many moons ago when, my sister, Sharon and I went to Kids' Klub Camp and we won 1st place in the talent contest singing “He Touched Me”. Also that year Uncle Rex had his leg in a cast and was in a wheelchair.
NAME: ROGER BURKE
KLUB: Mendota
MEMORY: Since I am relatively new to Kids' Klub, I really enjoyed attending the 50th Anniversary celebration. I learned so much about the history of Kids' Klub and about the people who have served in the past. It was encouraging to hear how God has used Kids' Klub to reach so many kids for so many years.

NAME: MARTHA BURKE
KLUB: Mendota
MEMORY: For me the best part of camp as a kid was chapel. I loved the songs and stories. Mail call was always fun for everyone. I also remember singing “Onward Christian Soldiers” as we march in for meals.
NAME: MARCIA WESSELS
KLUB: Waterman
MEMORY: I always thought it would be good if I would memorize scripture. However I struggled until my children started Kids' Klub. It was just what I needed. It gave me the structure and the incentive. If I expected my kindergartener to memorize verses for Klub then I should be willing and able to also. Then we quickly progressed to having enough confidence to start with the passage beginning the next year.
NAME: RALPH EADES
KLUB: Mt. Carroll
MEMORY: I will never forget my first Kids' Klub rally at the Princeton Bible Church. As we walked in the sanctuary, all the kids were singing at the top of their lungs. It seemed like the walls were shaking. Joe Jacobs was playing the piano but no one was leading the singing. The kids know the songs so will that they sang each week at Klub and they needed no prompting to sing them. You could tell that they were having a good time. It gave me goose bumps to hear the enthusiasm in their young voices. I was always anxious to go back to Rally to hear that enthusiastic singing but I only heard that spontaneous singing for 1 or 2 more years. I am sure that God was smiling down from heaven. That first year was very special and I will always remember it.

KLUB: Princeton
MEMORY: I am so blessed with Kids' Klub. I feel it is an important ministry for our church and an important part of our children's ministry programming. Kids' Klub is a great way for children and adults to learn and study the Bible. It is a privilege to be working with wonderful Christian people; Terry, Mary, and Krista as well as Lynn and Rene and other Klub workers. Thank you for this opportunity to reach children around the community.
