ANNUAL MEETING

Sunday, January 26
Beginning with a chili lunch immediately following the 10:45a.m. service then we will reflect on the 2019 year and plan for the 2020 year!

Calling all Chili chefs! We could really use a few more crock-pots of Chili for the annual meeting lunch. We also need pans of dessert bars (or cookies). You can bring your food donations to the kitchen on the morning of the annual meeting. If you are able to help out please sign up online or email Lesley Greep at WLGreep@gmail.com

Volunteers also needed to help with setup, serving and clean up.
