**For those uncertain to what a DYK thread is......**

DYK stands for Did You Know or Do You Know

It is simply a chit chat thread where every thought is written in sentences and each sentences starts with the initials DYK---it is fun, entertaining and a great way to meet the board members.

DH always told me no sandbox because of the ants. My parents bought one of those stand up water and sand tables for the patio which is awesome, messy, but awesome.

When we moved here almost 20 years ago, there were no fire ants in the area.

We've had wasp problems also! We have a lawn service do the fire ant treatments every year after the first one. The year I was pregnant with Madison, I was out weeding and didn't realize my foot was near a nest, I got about 4 bites and my ankle swelled up with a golf ball sized swell, it was horrible! I don't ever want the kids to accidentally walk through one and have that happen, p,us the bit site on my leg itched for weeks even after the swelling went down.

<> Exactly. And the thing is, our youth director is in seminary. She is not going to be around for too much longer. We really need to get our youth program built up and strong so the next person in that position does not have to start at square one. When people start saying things to our youth (especially when they are doing the right thing!), it makes this task much more difficult.
