Auxiliary News
Hello Ladies,
I want to thank everyone who came to our Christmas Party/December meeting. It was good to see everyone before the holidays. Special thanks go to Bev for allowing us to use the party room at her place for this meeting. We all enjoyed some holiday snacks and wrapped the presents for the families we adopted through the church.
Thank you, Ladies, for providing a good budget for Sandy, Elyssa, and I to shop with. I am hoping the gifts brought some joy to those families in these tough times.
It was also great to see everyone at the Knight's Christmas Party the following week.
Our next meeting is not until February, so stay safe and warm until then. Please keep an eye on your emails as I will send out more information about our "Respect for Life" project when I hear back from the Children's Hospital Social Work/Child's Life team.
Best wishes,

Jenny Resler

Have you moved, have you changed your phone number, have you made a change to your email address? Please keep the council updated when you have a change of address, change of phone number and finally a change to your email. It really helps us to keep track of where to send things to you.
