each child, families of the children that will not receive a gift will be
notified by email before December 5.

ANOTHER GREAT DINNER!

Another successful supper! The ladies of the Congregational Church provided a lovely ham dinner for the attendees. We were honored to have 3 families at the table as well as a number of Handy Helpers! Clearly things are beginning to gel. Roz was able to provide a Handy Helper update and overview and the families assured us that the word is spreading. Blessings to all!
