Gerik, my son with autism, is a senior at Kittitas High School and will be “graduating” this year. He will not take part in any of the ceremonies, they are not of interest to him and are not the type of environments he does well in. He will continue to receive instruction at KHS for another two years until age twenty-one. It is still an important milestone and he has learned so much. His classmates have been very supportive; he has been with them for the past 13 years. Our family will celebrate it with him in our own way. I am often asked to explain what it is like to raise a child like Gerik, or told how great Michelle and I must be. I think the best explanation can be found at www.our-kids.org/archives/Holland.html
Gerik’s Graduation Picture
Minneapolis 2015 I mentioned last month that I would soon be meeting my daughter Jordan and her fiancé Israel in Minneapolis, MN at a business marketing conference. They both absorbed much information, saw Penn Jillette, from Penn and Teller speak, and met many other Entrepreneurs. Jordan came away with the idea to help the Chiropractors she works for create and mail newsletters to their patients. She took the information she learned at the conference about selling, made a presentation to the doctors, and will be mailing it this June!! She is now thinking of offering a newsletter service to Chiropractors around the country. -Rolf P.S.

You’re Invited to Our 68th Anniversary Party!! My grandparents, Don & Irene Williams, opened the doors of Jerrol’s for the VERY first time 68 years ago—June 21, 1947. We were named Jerrol’s Handy Stop at that time. The same neon sign that is over our doors today was on top of that first building. That 18’ long sign is as long as the original store was wide!
FREE Scoops of Ice Cream Just For Stopping In! “Grandpa Don’s Root Beer Float” Sunday, June 21st In the early days we were a soda fountain. Don and Irene offered cold food selections like pie and sandwiches, as well as magazines and other “sundry items”. Of all the dessert items that were offered, Grandpa liked root beer floats the best.

Corrie’s Craft of the Month Colored Sand Art
We've all poured sand into a bottle or glass and made some great designs. But I wanted to try something new (to me at least) with all the cool colored sand we have here at Jerrols. This is what I came up with. It's simple and a whole lot of fun!
Room rates are $50 for the first hour and $25 for each additional hour. Full days are $150. More information and availability are online at

Comfort Chickens Homestead Candles 100% Soy - 100% USA Macintosh Apple●Plum Tea●Peach Pineapple Sage●Strudel Spice We are pleased to offer Comfort Chickens Homestead candles which are handmade in Edgewood, Washington, just north of Puyallup by Candice Comfort. The candles are 100% soy wax, which is a renewable resource, and burns much cleaner then paraffin wax, leaving no heavy black soot. They also use two cotton wicks for an even cleaner burn. Each candle is lovingly hand poured into a real mason jar (Kerr to be exact: jar, lid, and rim made in the USA). Once it is done burning the scent sticker can Candice Comfort and her easily be removed Chicken and the wicks taken out so the jar can be reused!
Supplies Foam board or canvas Colored sand Elmer's glue Paint brush 1. Start by drawing a design on your board/canvas with a #2 pencil. Using the paintbrush, "paint" some glue onto your project. Only do a small section so the glue is wet for the next step. 3. Pour sand over the glue and let it dry. 4. Pour off the extra sand 5. Continue gluing and sanding until your design is complete. It's easier if you only do one color at a time! Have fun and enjoy! Corrie Ihrke

Jerrol’s Journal June 2015 A Few Comments From Our Clients “I've always enjoyed the excellent customer service at Jerrols!” - Jill - Rewards Member “Great selection of clothing for all sizes and styles. I love the Spring colors too!” -Whitney Franks - Rewards Member “I was so happy that you had A Feast of Ice and Fire: The Official Companion Cookbook (Game of Thrones) in stock! I almost bought it on Amazon, but I would rather support local businesses whenever possible. My purchase sparked a fun conversation with the cashier, who is also a Game of Thrones fan. It was nice that she took the time to engage with me on a personal level instead of just ringing me up and handing me a receipt. Buying books SHOULD be an enjoyable, interactive experience. Keep up the good work!” -Kimberly Glenn - Rewards Member
“I was so happy to find that you had a variety of backpacks available. Given it wasn't the beginning of the school year, I was worried that they may all be gone. But once again, Jerrol's had exactly what I needed.” -Christy Smith - Rewards Member
