    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. 

    Anyone in need of a FAX machine?  Contact Beth Robinson: E-mail Address:   Epr313@aol.com

    Tree Project update: thanks to Diane McClug in Plano I am looking into some possibilities.

    November 4, Sunday Mass of Remembrance, i.e., remembering family members & friends no longer with us, tying it in with the All Saints feast.  We are talking about putting pictures & candles on a table on the stage or just on the stage.  Other ideas are welcome.

    Any adults or families interested in a spiritual growth program after Masses during the winter?  Jane Williams has offered to coordinate it.  I may even get to sit in occasionally.  J.S.
