FAN THANKS Thanks to all of you who lent fans during our RAIHN Host Week! Combined with screens in each room, our guests were very comfortable throughout their stay with us. Please see Marti Eggers during Coffee Hour to retrieve your fans.
BOOK GROUP: Sunday September 28th, 12:15, in the Adult Lounge. This month's selection is "Year of Wonder" by Geraldine Brooks, a book which gives us a glimpse into the strangeness of history that simultaneously enables us to see a reflection of ourselves.

INTERESTED IN JOINING THE KEEPERS OF THE FLAME? Please see Michael Van Arsdale after the service for more information.
BACKPACKS: Our social justice plate in May provides funds for backpacks to be given to students who arrive at School 7 without one. Thank you for your donations last spring! Anyone who is interested in buying backpacks for this program please see Sarah Singal. We usually shop after school has resumed to get the best bargains. You will be reimbursed. This is a wonderful way to help our School 7 children
