A BIG THANK-YOU !
A big thankyou from a grateful Sicko. My heartfelt thanks to everyone who helped make last Saturday’s Brooksong Fundraiser such a success. To the bakers, the setup crew, the coffee pourers, the greeters, our Emcee, the sound and video team, the Brooksong folks, and of course the fabulous Vintages band who carried the night — you were incredible. I wish I could have been there to lend a hand, but I’m so proud of the amazing crew we have at Trinity. Kim Draper

UCW ladies will be making chili sauce again in late August and we will need 500 ml Mason Jars. When you are Spring cleaning and come across any of those jars that you would like to donate, please bring them to the Church kitchen and I will periodically pick them up. Many thanks, Olive Macoomb
