Now What?

There is much to accomplish in 2012 to fight local and global hunger.  Volunteers will meet on January 10 at 7pm in the Wilderness Room to gear up for the Truckload of Life Project, a community packaging event set for April 15, and to plan a fundraising event for Valentine’s Day.  Please consider helping plan the events for the Truckload of Life Project.

Many craft projects are already planned for this year. Regular morning craft sessions will begin on January  10 at 9am in the Wilderness Room and continue on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month.  Regular evening craft sessions will begin on January 11 at 7pm in the Wilderness Room and continue on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month.

All are welcome for fellowship, fun, and treats.
