Did you know?- Aimee was very involved in Awana’s. She was always one of the best in everything. She memorized enough bible verses to always be one of the very top kids in every grade to win awards. She won free trips to Black Bear Camp in Washington. With the help of her dad and brother she would usually be one of the top winners in the derby car races. She had buttons all over her vest for memorizing bible verses. And if you completed all your work for every grade at the end of i think the 6th grade, you had a plaque with your name on it put up in the church foyer. They would put them in a row up next to the ceiling. It was quite an honor for only 1 or 2 kids made it a year.
