The Sjogren's Syndrome Foundation is hosting a fundraising and educational event May 15th @ the Grapevine Mills Mall. The money they receive is used for research and patient/physician education. I have created a website for friends/family to donate. It is www.firstgiving.com/jaimiewilson.

True?

We cannot put off living until we are ready. The most salient characteristic of life is its urgency, “here and now” without any possible postponement. Life is fired at us point blank.

Christmas Eve Mass: 4:00 P.M.  Welcome!

The Mass after Christmas, Dec. 30: No Mass.  Rosemary & I will be in Mexico.

Two questions:

• What do you think about putting together a community directory with just names, perhaps email addresses, phone number, even address?
• What about a food drive Christmas Eve?  When St. James Parish said they did not want our donations any more, I forgot about the project.  But, we have Food Banks in Plano & Richardson, and people have said they would like to contribute.

Tree Project update: maybe in December?  Waiting to hear from Collin Co. Child Advocacy Center, Park & Los Rios.

I am still searching for a job for one of our own, Rick Turner.  The last 8 years he has worked as a night warehouse man for Home Depot, which is now laying off numerous workers.  Does anyone have a lead on this kind of work or something similar?  He can do fork lift work, night work, make a great driver. A good man.

Anyone want to help with the readings at Mass who has not been asked?  I include those of you who need practice in speaking in front of a group because of FEAR.
