Bazaar and September UMW Program

[Richard and Juanita Rampy]

Ann Maxwell sent this email out to Rachel Circle...so am using it to share more UMW information that Ann has shared...especially the September program and the 2013 Bazaar.  

Please make note of these opportunities. All women of the church are invited to both.

 

Blessings

First of all, the UMW unit meeting will be Wednesday, September 4, at 10:00. I particularly want you to be aware of the program that is planned and encourage you to attend. Also, Rachel Circle is hostess for this meeting. The program is going to be Dr. Edgar Ailor (Kathleen's son) who has recently published a photographic book entitled Blue Highways Revisited. He followed the route of William Least Heat-Moon who wrote Blue Highways back in 1978 and photographed persons and places visited by Heat-Moon. This should be a very interesting program, and I hope that many of you will plan to attend. (I personally have both books, and they are fascinating.) Since we are hostesses for this, I would like to ask for volunteers to bring "brunch" type items like breakfast breads, fruit, fruit juice, or other similar type items. There are usually 25-30 in attendance, but with this special program, we are hoping for more. The refreshments are provided at the beginning of the meeting. We no longer serve lunch.

 

 

About the bazaar -- As you probably already know, the Chili Day/UMW bazaar was rescheduled for Monday, October 28. This will actually be a better time for a bazaar because it will give us an opportunity to sell seasonal items. We will set up, as usual, on that Sunday afternoon, Oct. 27, at 2:00. Please plan on coming to help set up and work with me on the actual day. We will have a new booth this year for purses. Sheila Scott has agreed to "chair" this booth. We are asking for "gently used" purses to be donated. This way you can get rid of a purse you no longer use and can purchase something "new." Sheila said this was a big hit at her sister's bazaar. So we are going to try it. So, ladies, bring us your purses.....but they need to be clean and in good shape and almost "new." Also, please be working on items that you can donate for sale. We already have a good supply of books, but if you have more, bring them on. Baked items also do well. And, this year bring some seasonal items to sell......Thanksgiving, fall, or Christmas. These should sell better than they did in February!!! We don't have a lot of time until the big day, so spread the word to everyone to get busy and prepare the items for the bazaar.
