White Elephant this week!
Bring a wrapped unwanted gift to exchange next Wednesday at our annual White Elephant!  Always a fun meeting!.  
We packed up meals at Loaves & Fishes
Last Thursday, we prepared meals at St. Matt's for Loaves & Fishes.  We accomplished this in record time.  The kitchen was cleaned by 5:00 and we were done by 5:45.  Thanks to all who helped!  Pictured below with the pink hat and nice smile is our new best friend, Mary Bejblik!  Thanks also to Sue, Jon, Jeff, Dave, Joe & Susan!
