Christian Women's Connection Luncheon February 10
Featuring Kim Schuster and “Lydia”


The Dickinson Area Christian Women's Connection will host their monthly luncheon Wednesday, February 10, at Pine Grove Country Club, 1520 W. Hughitt, from noon to 1:30 p.m.

We are happy to welcome Kim Schuster from Niagara, Wisconsin as our program speaker this month. Kim grew up spending a great deal of time outdoors with her family doing activities such as hiking, camping, and backpacking. Studying and collecting plants and using them to make teas, cough syrups, salves, chewing gum, etc., was a big part of her childhood. This love of nature was passed down through generations in her mother's family. Kim's father's background as an inventor and entrepreneur gave her a desire to take her love of nature and develop a business around it. From 1985 through 1994 Kim and her mother had a business producing educational nature programs for children and adults. They brought plants and animals to life through props and costumes. When her mother retired, Kim continued to do educational programs until 2007.

After getting a degree in business management, Kim became the financial manager for her family's industrial manufacturing business. In addition, she started her own business in 2008, Hollow Tree Concepts, with the emphasis on soap-making. Her product line also includes lotions, body oils, sugar/salt scrubs and lip balms.

Kim will be doing a two-part presentation at our luncheon. During the first half of the program, the audience will take a trip back in time with her character, “Lydia,” to explore the plants of the Bible. The second half of the program is a fast-forward to present day showing how she makes soap (like grandma used to make) using techniques and many of the oils, herbs, resins, and spices from Biblical times. This is a hands-on program in which the audience participates through all of their senses. Everyone will be able to sample a snack of honey and locusts, smell and try Balm of Gilead salve, make “washing balls” and much more. Kim will also have goodie bags with samples of her products for each woman attending the luncheon.

The menu will feature roast pork loin, baby red potatoes, carrots, salad, rolls, coffee, milk, and cherry cobbler for dessert.

All are welcome and invited to attend. Cost of the luncheon is $13 inclusive with free nursery available upon reservation. Please provide children's names and ages.

Reservations are required by February7. Please call Ann Brasure at 906-776-0367 or e-mail Sherri Erickson at sherrilynnerickson@sbcglobal.net.
