Announcements

The farewell luncheon for Bruce and Shirley Brown has been postponed.  Due to changes in their housing arrangement in Texas, they have to delay their departure.  They’re disappointed, but that means we get to keep them a while longer!

Our 30-Hour Famine food drive,
 to benefit the North Collins Food Pantry,
 comes to a close next Sunday, March 9th.
  Drop off non-perishable foods (boxed foods, cans, juice, rice, etc.)
 to the table in the front foyer so items can be
 sorted, bagged and delivered
