This past weekend, the residents, families, and public, took part in the annual Vinton Lutheran Home Ice Cream Social.  Our biggest fundraiser of the year was a huge success, thanks in large part to the staff, volunteers, family members, and of course, the beautiful weather didn’t hurt either.

As you know, Father’s Day is coming up, (Sunday, June 17th).  This past week, the Vinton Lutheran Home celebrated all of the fathers with their Father/Son Night.  The guys and their sons enjoyed a nice picnic-type meal, complete with a S’mores dessert. The Benton County Naturalists came and shared some very interesting facts and stories about bison.
