Schoolhouse Shop and Antiques, original at http://www.schoolhouseshop.com

The attorneys of Hiestand Law Office attended the Chamber’s Business After Hours hosted by the Schoolhouse Shop & Antiques on July 8, 2009.

The schoolhouse was originally built in 1886 by the Porter County Westchester Township School system.  On July 7, 1997 James D. Ruge and Roy J. Krizek purchased the schoolhouse shop and after many renovations had a holiday opening on November 13, 1997.  The old office was turned into Tree House Toy Room and the kitchen shop is now known as The Magic Pantry.

The Schoolhouse Shop contains antiques, gifts, a food pantry, toys, candles, cards, art, clothes, pottery, and a floral shop.  Truly a unique shopping experience.

Exchange Club Frog Hunt Sponsorship

Hiestand Law Office is proud to be a sponsor of the Duneland Area Exchange Club’s 6th Annual Frog Hunt. The Frog Hunt will be July 18, 2009 at the Coffee Creek Watershed Preserve. Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for children, and children under 5 are free. In addition to the frog hunt (no real frogs are used) there are games, entertainment, crafts, a tadpole hunt for children and face painting. Lunch is also provided. All proceeds from the event are used to support child abuse prevention and youth development programs in Porter County.

Attorney Sarah Lawson was appointed to a two-year term on the Board of Directors of the Duneland Area Exchange Club. Sarah served as the Exchange Club’s treasurer for the past three years. The Duneland Area Exchange Club is focused on helping the youth in the Duneland community through its own direct programming and community grants.

The Club’s next activity is the 4th of July parade in Porter at which the Club members will hand out American flags. The Exchange Club is also holding its Frog Hunt fundraiser on July 18, 2009 at the Coffee Creek Watershed Preserve.

Sarah Lawson and Elizabeth Lawson at Duneland Relay for Life

Sarah Lawson and her family attended Relay for Life at the Chesterton High School on June 19, 2009. This year the theme was “Relayhood” and many of the teams used Hollywood motifs for their tents. Sarah was a member of “Tyler’s Hunt for a Cure” whose tent was decorated in a pirate theme. The event raised approximately $90,000 for the American Cancer Society.

Attorney David Hiestand has started coaching a Duneland Soccer Club U-8 Rec League team for the Spring season.   David grew up playing soccer at the Duneland Soccer Club and thought helping out would be great way to get more involved in the community.   The players vary in age from six to eight years old.  For some of the players, this is their first experience with the game.
