Sorry, Everybody,

The old editor left out two notices from the Reminder bulletin:

1.    We are collecting for Dressed for Success ladies dresses and clothing, especially size 18 & up.  On top of this just about any clothing is welcomed.  Bill Hammond will gather everything into his car and take them to their office/warehouse.

2.   We are doing our Advent food drive.  Ken & Cindy will collect and deliver the food.  The items especially appreciated: 

Food Drive:  canned meats (like chili, ravioli, etc.), personal care items (shampoo, toothpaste, soap, toothbrush, etc.), peanut butter and jelly, macaroni.  These are the items that disappear the quickest, but they really can use any food or household items.
