Living Windows Volunteers
From Nancy Eppert:
It is time to start gathering the choir of angels.
I need firm commitments for the Living Windows event on the Independence Square by November 29. Men and women ages 16 and above would be best. The event starts at 6:00 p.m. and goes to 9:00 p.m. We will have one rehearsal at 5pm just prior to the event. All those who participate will be robed, so I need sizes ahead of time. We can accommodate small to extra fluffy sizes.
Interested persons can contact me via email. On the rare occasion that they don't have email, they can call. I don't answer to an unknown number, so please leave a message.
Thank you for singing to the Lord...He approves even making "a joyful noise"!
If you have a good choir voice, please pray about participating in this event. It will give the IIAW much needed visibility in the community.

Dangerous Places/Dangerous People: Situational Awareness
From: Bruce Luedeman
Bruce@SafeShoot.com
Dangerous Places/Dangerous People: Situational Awareness
Saturday, November 9, 2019, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., I will conduct my family-oriented program, “Dangerous Places/Dangerous People: Situational Awareness. Individuals are also welcome!
The morning session focuses on awareness skills that may alert you and family members to potential threats. The afternoon is an individual field trip around the area, to use your newly acquired skills. Many of these techniques are the same as Police Officers use when responding to a potentially dangerous call. Lunch will be on your own, and you will practice the skills you have learned earlier in the day.
Utilizing your personal vehicle and GPS, the afternoon will be a field trip to various locations around the local area to observe and report what you see. The participants will be given a route description and a sheet with observation requirements and space for notes. You and your companions will also make location decisions, “Where is a safe place or quick exit”?
At the conclusion of the route you, or your group, will meet the instructor in the food court of a large local shopping mall to relax, debrief and enjoy your favorite soft drink (diet soft drink in my case).
Cost is $25 per participant and $12.50 for each participating member of your family or group. Your family or group can secure a seat with a $25 payment on the www.SafeShoot.com web site with the balance payable at the start of the class.
Because of the logistics, class size is limited to approximately 15 people. These classes fill up quickly. Check your calendar and enroll your family, group or just yourself now.
The class will convene at 9 a.m. at the:
Safe Shoot Classroom
2425 S Crysler Ave #5
Independence MO 64055
Please park on the upper east side of the building.

Obituary for Frances Mundy
https://memorial.speakschapel.com/frances-mundy/4011907/index.php
Frances Virginia Mundy, 85, Independence passed Saturday, November 2, 2019 at Lakewood Care Center in Kansas City, Missouri. Services will be 2 pm, Sat., Nov. 9 at Buckner Restoration Branch, 2607 N. Twyman Rd., Independence, MO 64058; interment at Oak Ridge Memory Gardens. Visitation will be 6-8 pm, Friday at Speaks Suburban Chapel, 18020 E. 39th St., Independence, MO 64055.
Frances was born on February 2, 1934 in Exeter, Missouri, Barry County to James and Ruth Painter. Her mother moved the family to California and eventually settled in Ridgway, Pennsylvania where she worked at Quality Components in Daguscahonda, Ridgway Township, PA. She met Aaron Mundy who became her lifetime husband. During Aaron’s Army tour they corresponded then they married in July 1954 in Caney, Kansas. They made their home in Grand Junction, Colorado where their first of two sons were born in 1958. They moved to Wichita, Kansas in 1959 where they lived when their second son was born in 1966.
In 1954 she became a lifelong member of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (later becoming the Church of Jesus Christ).
Frances is remembered as someone who would never decline the opportunity to hold a baby or care for children. She is very well known for her cooking and especially baking, which led her to cook weekly meals at Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints’ Laurel Club in the 1970’s.
Frances was preceded in death by her father James T. Painter and mother Ruth A. (Coats) Woodward; husband Aaron G. Mundy on February 28, 2010; brothers Earline Tindle, Hollis Painter, sisters Betty (Tindle) Gardner and Cora Mae (Painter) Hayes.

Paul Kenneth Palmer - Obituary
Paul Kenneth Palmer - Obituary
Paul Kenneth Palmer, 91 years, of Independence, MO, passed away on Sunday, November 3, 2019, at CenterPoint Medical Center, Independence, Missouri.
Paul was born on July 20, 1928, to Fred and Norine Palmer. He grew up in Cheyenne, WY. He joined the Navy towards the end of WW II, serving from 1945-1947. Paul served on the USS Dyess, a battleship that accompanied President Truman on the USS Missouri to Brazil for the Rio Treaty at the end of WWII, and then escorted the presidential yacht with the Truman family back to Washington D.C.
Using the GI bill, Paul attended Graceland College, K.C. Junior College, and then graduated from Rockhurst College with BS in Business Administration, majoring in Accounting. In 1971, he earned a Master's Degree in Business Administration with a Finance Specialty. He worked the majority of his career at Missouri Public Service Company based in Raytown, Missouri, beginning in 1956. He took early retirement in his mid 50's but continued to serve afterwards as a consultant for a few more years.
Paul married Elnora V. Maitland on November 9, 1952. Paul was a Lifetime Member of Optimist International where he served as secretary/treasurer, vice president, and Boys Work chair and volunteered in various capacities as an active member from 1962-1981. He had an early teen interest in playing pool and chess. He and Elnora were also on an Optimist Club bowling team for several years. In later years, his hobby was following the stock market by day trading, but his greatest lifetime passion was supporting his family by attending the many concerts, sporting events and other school activities of his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. His family fondly remembers the weekly Sunday evening gatherings of his children and grandchildren at his house that involved playing board games, watching Chiefs games together while eating Taco Johns or pizza, and Paul bouncing many a baby on his lap.
Paul was baptized at age 10 in the RLDS church in Cheyenne, WY. Paul and his wife, Elnora, attended the Raytown RLDS Congregation while raising their children. They were charter members of the South Crysler Restoration Branch in Independence, MO, and attended there at the time of his death.
Paul is preceded in death by his parents and three siblings.
He is survived by his wife of almost 67 years, Elnora Maitland Palmer. He was a beloved father to four children: Paulette Baker Eubanks(Bennie) of Independence, Chuck Palmer(Jennifer) of Independence, Sharon Palmer Hamm(Eric) of Monrovia, CA, and Marjorie Palmer of Independence; and "poppy" to 14 grandchildren, 35 great grandchildren with one more due in January, and 3 great, great grandchildren.
A visitation will be held on Tuesday, November 5, 2019, from 6-8 pm and a celebration of life will be held the next day at 10 am, both at Speaks Suburban Chapel, 18020 E. 39th St. in Independence. Interment will follow in Mound Grove Cemetery.
Paul made many contributions to many school fundraisers and many nonprofit organizations throughout the years. Contributions may be made in Paul's memory to: Friends United, Center Place Restoration School, or South Crysler Restoration Branch (youth work).
