Woman’s Society Silent Auction
By Angie Reed
On Monday, March 21st there will be a Silent Auction at the Meeting House at 6:30PM
before the start of our Woman’s Society Meeting at 7;00 PM. Please contribute home
baked goodies, fudge, your gently used items, and hand made items for our silent auction. We would like items to be available for a preview on Sunday, March 20. Early bids accepted at that time.
Because of the concert Young Friends are hosting on Saturday night, we ask that you do
not bring your items earlier than Sunday. If this is inconvenient, please see a Woman’s Society Member so storage arrangements can be made.
A portion of these funds goes to the Adopt-a- Nurse program.
After Meeting Refreshments Schedule
Thank you for being willing to prepare
refreshments. Please switch if needed.
Directions are posted in the kitchen. Supplies need to be donated- check what is already available in the kitchen. “Basic” refreshments are coffee, milk and/or half & half,
tea, juice, and crackers. People appreciate having cheese, sweets, veggies, or fruit, but it can be as simple as you like.
The Woman’s Society makes this schedule with people who
come to Meeting regularly and have been willing to prepare
refreshments in the past. We have not checked with each person
regarding dates. If you would like to be added to or taken off
this list, please see Nancy Marstaller. Thanks!

Playing in the Light Training Workshop
By Wendy Schlotterbeck
We are delighted to be the host for a “Playing in the Light” workshop April 15, 16,
and 17. Michael Gibson from Friends General Conference will be the lead trainer. Because our Sunday School is growing, we would like to offer another class for the middle school age
Friends next year, and need more teachers.
Please consider if you would like to grow into this wonderful way of helping children
understand God. Please contact Wendy Schlotterbeck for more information about this
exciting event!

A note of appreciation for our youth and all they bring to our meeting!
You share such wonderful things with us “non-youth”. We are glad you are who you are.

doing a great job putting out a high quality periodical. Thank you for your efforts, for a job
well done.
