 UMW April 24th, 7:30 p.m. Meeting Minutes....

    Just to touch lightly on some highlights of our meeting.....

    Sandy Timko, President opened the meeting.  

Final details were discussed for the upcoming mission tea.  Courtney Gracie and Sandy Timko would be in the kitchen preparing for the meal.  John Whitman helped with setting up the tables on Wednesday.  Women could come in as early as Wednesday afternoon through Friday to set up/decorate their table.  

We donated the Easter eggs for the "hunt on the green'" this year and a thank you card was sent from the H.T.P Commission.

     *MISSION TEA, Friday, April 27th @ 6:00 p.m.....Kate Blaney "spear headed" another successfull Mission Tea!  She organized and found 14 of our Women of the Church to create and decorate a "themed" table.  Themes for the tables were up to the discretion of the Hostess!  All the tables were fabulous!  Each woman was asked to either bring 4 dozen cookies or "finger" sandwiches....we had plenty of both and they were delicious!  If you missed this years tea, please make an effort to come next year.  As always we ask for donations to support our select Missions and the women gave generously, exceeding $1,800.00!  Thank you, thank you to all who donated and to the wonderful efforts of our Ladies who hosted a table. But that's not all......  Our talent for the evening was Jonathan White.  He has entertained us for the last three years and the ladies absolutely enjoyed his humor and astounding singing voice.  We are very grateful and thankful for everyone's participation and look forward to next years tea!

     *RADU KNIFE COMPANY....Kate Blaney has received information on the knives.  We will be seeing more on this fund raiser at the end of the summer. Some of us already have some of the knives and have used them for many years.  We see this as being very successful.  Look for continuing follow-up in upcoming newsletters and this website.
