Chili Sauce making update and A HUGE THANK-YOU to …
everyone who helped by donating 500 ml mason jars. I now have my quota of 225 jars for the chili sauce!
Please Note: The Thursday, September 5th chili sauce making date has been changed to Tuesday, August 27th, due to the upcoming “Celebration of Life” for Mary Justice which is on Sat. Sept. 7th. I feel it would be too much to ask of everybody involved to do the chili sauce making twice in one week and also making funeral sandwiches/ squares that same week. I hope you understand. Therefore, the dates are August 27th, August 29th and September 3rd. Bring your favourite knife and come and help. Lots of good fellowship and fun! Thank-you, Olive Macoomb

Our Trinity Knitting & Crocheting Group will take a break for the summer and then return in the Fall to meet every other week on Wednesday at 2:00 p.m. We will be meeting in the Fellowship Room at Trinity United Church to enjoy some pleasant socializing, a cup of tea and of course a little knitting or crocheting. See you in the Fall and all are welcome to attend!
