Sunday, May 27
After all the sorting and reviewing, we have some interesting historical items we'd like to share with you. Some are in the library now and many others will be on display in the Narthex on Memorial Sunday. Make some time that day to look through some books, photos, old official documents, etc. You may see yourself or someone that you remember. These items will be then organized into albums that can be viewed in the future.

There is always room for more

TLC in Charles City, is collecting plastic bags to cover used diapers. This is apparently required. As you can imagine they go through a lot in a day. If you could save them and drop them off there, they would be grateful.
