Good afternoon!
I would like to thank all the ladies who made food for Marietta's reception. Also thanks to the ladies who showed up before Mass to set up and for those who stayed and cleared the Hall and the kitchen. You all are so helpful and I thank you for this.
We were overwhelmed with bake goods so we will not need any for our October meeting and maybe November.
It was brought to my attention last May and again at the reception that the dish towels and oven mitts are in very sad shape. If you find any on sale and would like to donate them to the kitchen, please bring them to the October meeting which will be on the 11th. We would like to start out the year with clean towels.
Saturday and Sunday are Stewardship days at the Church. Following each Mass there will be a chance for all to look at all the activities and groups that are available at Our Lady of the Gulf. Altar Rosary will have a table. Florence will be there after the 4:30 Mass, Sissy and I will be there after the 8:00 and Laura will be there after the 7:00 Mass. I am looking for someone to man the table after the 10:30 Mass. Unfortunately I have a doctor's appointment in Tampa, which was made month's ago on Monday and I would like to leave as early as possible. If you can help out, please contact me.
As I mentioned at the September meeting, we will be hosting the Wednesday night dinner on October 19. ( Other dates are January 11 and May 17). Mary's Shelter is providing and cooking the food. We are the setup and clean up group. The format will be a Baby Shower Dinner just like they have had at the Shelter for the past 16 years. The dinner donations will be given to the Shelter. No gifts are needed. A Specialty Bakery will donate the cake for the event. What our duties are: Set up, get a count for the dinner and clean up. We would like to get more people involved with the Shelter and their new Thrift Store which will open next Tuesday the 20th at 10 am.
Please pray for all our members who are having health problems Sally DeJarlis, Anne Dougherty, Julie Jones and Jeanne Franz. And pray for all our members who have left us.
Mark your calendar for our Bake Sale which will be the 4th of February.
Our Lady of Fatima pray for us.
