Deerfield Fair THANK YOU from Pam

Hello Volunteers of the Deerfield Fair ~ WOW.  You all truly gave a great gift to our church by donating hours of your time Thursday at the Fair.  I was impressed by each one of you; you all were happy, flexible, and great ambassadors for the fair trying to answer any and all questions, and ready to help.  A special thanks goes out to non-”church” volunteers Michelle Stevenson & Greg Doane!  I hope you had fun, and I hope you’ve put in your calendar for next year October 1.  :)  Thank you very much!!!  ~  Pamela English
