WHAT ARE WE HAPPY AND SAD ABOUT THIS WEEK?
This week, in addition to donating to the food pantries in our community, we also collected funds to be used to create a scratch ticket raffle for comedy night. If you did not get a chance to donate and would like the opportunity - you still have time!
In addition to the names below, thank you to MAILA, MICKEY, JOAN, NANCY, JIM H, ALLEY, JEAN, ELLEN and NIKKI for your donations!

JIM F: ($1) District membership meeting last night was a success.
STEPHANIE: ($1) Comedy Night is really coming together well!
MICHAEL: ($1) $1.00 represents 100 pennies. One hundred also represents the number of games that the Sox have already won!

RICK: ($2) enjoyed the dictionary project at Joan's house!
