Potluck Dinner June 20

Just to clarify a notice in the recent newsletter, ALL of you are invited to come to the potluck party hosted by Grace Levergood and the choir, in order to see Judy Frase and thank her for her 14 years of beautiful music given to us, and of course to visit with each other.  The party is on Sat., June 20th, beginning at 5:00pm.  A grill will be up and running.   We will provide plates, napkins, paper cups, cutlery, and   lemonade.  Otherwise, it's BYOB.  Please RSVP with an idea of the sort of thing you want to bring to share.  If needed, directions to Grace's house will be given upon receipt of an RSVP.  RSVP to Grace Levergood  or to Jo Chase.  Looking forward to seeing you there!

Strawberry Festival  June 27
We need volunteers to pick strawberries, make shortcakes, provide various food/supplies, as well as many volunteers for the day.  Sign up sheets are on the table in Fellowship Hall. 
Bake Sale @ Strawberry Festival:  It’s time to be creative with a strawberry theme and make or bake an item for the Bake Sale.  Chocolate covered strawberries, bread, jams, or jellies, cupcakes, brownies with strawberry frosting, etc. will enhance this table.  There are 2 strawberry cookbooks in Fellowship Hall to assist your creativity!
Yard Sale @ Strawberry Festival:  Beginning next Sunday afternoon, items will begin to get priced so that there is less to do Friday evening under the tent.  If you would like to help during the day or evening, please contact Faith Levesque.  Please drop off your donations in the living room area off of the old vestry by Wednesday, June 24.   Our Strawberry Festival Chair is Pam English.
