A BIG THANK-YOU and still needed…
Thank you for Liz and Bruce volunteering to make coffee on Nov. 9th and 23rd. That is very much appreciated. I will make the coffee on Nov. 16th, so we still need help on Nov. 30th. Also, as the year is coming to a close, the coffee hour schedule needs to be updated. Would those who have volunteered check the schedule posted outside the kitchen door. If you are still available to volunteer for the month listed, please add a check mark beside your name. I will be calling this month to confirm your date and will create a new schedule for 2026. Many thanks for the time you have given to organize the coffee hour. It is so important to be able to connect with each other and enjoy a cup of coffee or tea.
With gratitude, Carol Wells-Gordon
