Kitchen Committee

Starting this coming Monday, MLK - a "Day of Service" will commence at 9:30 a.m and end by 11:30 p.m. Please join St. Mark's Women for a newly formed "Kitchen Committee". Some light cleaning and comradery will be combined during this fellowship event. We need hands to help with such simple tasks as handwriting the labels for the cabinets or cleaning out and putting in boxes materials no longer needed for donations.

Future Committee meetings may combine baking goods for coffee hour and learning "how to make the coffee" all while enjoying coffee with the company of fellow committee members. If you work during the day and can only make a couple of the dates you are welcome to join on the holidays for fellowship!

Dates for the Kitchen Committee: Third Mondays of the Month from 9:30 a.m. - 11:30p.m.

January 16 (MLK Day)
February 20 (President's Day)
March 20
April 17

Please RSVP to Sandy Gogerty if you are able to join us this Monday so she can properly plan the morning bagels & fruit for the event. sgogerty@optonline.net
