What’s more American than backyard barbecues, picnics in the park, and get togethers with family and friends sharing favorite recipes? Most of us take these things for granted but there are many in our community who struggle to put food on the table and feed their children regularly. The OLL Knights of Columbus “All American Summer Food Drive” begins on Saturday July 1 and runs until the Summer’s End Festival on Sunday, September 10.
Our goal is 5,000 pounds of food and other non-perishable items.

Mission to Tanzania
Kevin and Susan Welch, and Kathleen Wendland will be travelling to Tanzania in late July to visit with the Sisters of our Lady Queen of Africa.
The Sisters report that they have critical shortages in some key areas: school supplies, common medicines, blankets and sheets. Most of these can be purchased in Tanzania at a very low cost, but the Welches will also be bringing suitcases with as many small items as they can fit.
If you would like to contribute items for them to carry, contact Susan at
susan@welchy.com for a complete list. Or you can contribute by sending a check to Friends of Our Lady Queen of Africa, PO Box 1061, Lake Oswego, OR 97034 and we will wire these funds to the Sisters.
