Subject: July Schedule


Hi all,

Next week is the end of the month already. (Some still need to fill out timecards).

Here is the schedule for July. I sent out a email for extra hours available. Since then, an update: We will probably not fill the additional hours on July 3rd. Some evening classes are not meeting. The Monday, Wednesday hours for July 28 and 30 Mai has volunteered for.

Don’s hours the week of July 14th – 17th would probably have some flexibility to the beginning and ending times if needed.

Have a great weekend!!
JoAnn

We’re so sad to receive the news from Vietnam that our Aunt (Di` Ta’m) passed away on August 04, 2006 at 5 a.m.
(Vietnamese calendar: 11 July, 2006)

In 2004, I visited my country and also this was the last time to see her. 



Hope that Di` Ta’m will meet our mom and all relatives in heaven!
We pray for you, our Aunt (Di` Ta’m)

It has been 19 years without Mom, and it will be 15 years in coming December since we have settled  at Omaha, Nebraska, USA.  Bad and good or happy and unhappy, naturally occur daily life. Mom, believe in fate, I am sure I will meet you though. Waiting for this day, however, we have to live our present life. No question about everything is gone up or down, tough or smooth, and even difficult or easy to face it.  Sadness may put me down but since thinking of you this helps me a lot to get over it.  Certain time we felt happy and we hope you could be with us to share…Mom, you are always spiritually so important to me and your image leads me doing everyday! I need you and love you very much.

Omaha, Nebraska.

By June 1981, my sister Hong had to leave our mother land. Unfortunately, she didn’t know it was the last time to see our Mom.  Our Mom passed away in 1987… Sister Hong was in the United States and she couldn’t make a chance to attend her Mom’s funeral. 

Time flies with many changes; however, she is still keeping up our family traditional religion…

Dear Mom,

This is one of the lessons I have learned from you -- I feel proud to spread my willingness as a volunteer for the Community College.  My name is on this list with red mark…



Your daughter,

This song is about the Mother’s love...

Dear Grandma,

You have suddenly gone when I was too young to understand what "pass away" means. I remember the day uncle Sanh came to my home and said to Mom, "your mother has passed away". I didn't understand what he really meant until Mom cried out and told me the truth, unbelievable truth.

Grandma, I always remember the happy time when you embraced me in your hands and made me laugh. I will keep those precious memories of you deeply in my heart, forever.

I love you, Grandma!
