 Community Events:  

1.   I made a mistake.  Our next Habitat special day is not this Friday, June 8, but June 21, Friday.   Look for the neighborhood behind the Home Depot on Central, 11^th & Ave. E.  We have 3 more special JSMinistry days, June  21 (a Friday), July 13, and August 3.  A person may also work any
Saturday.  The house will need about 18 Saturdays of work. 

2.   Romeos’ lunch Friday, June 7, 1:00, as usual.  Jason's, Collin Creek.

 3.   The  Women's Lunch Group on Thursdays at noon is on.   For info talk with Carol, Bernadette, or Maureen.

4.  Note: I worked with Bona Responds this week in OK City and hand delivered our community's support, $1000.  They are enormously grateful and I am so grateful to be part of you people, such a generous community.  I have returned home physically and emotionally worn out.  More details coming.

Footnote: twice in the past month I have been so proud to be part of you people, our community.  I was told in OK that Bona Responds' single biggest support is you folks.  Earlier, Brent told me the same thing about Soul's Harbor and you folks.  I am most humbled to be part of you.  Thanks.
