you can’t be here but would like to help, we need monetary donations
to purchase turkeys, hams & pies. We don’t need you to buy any of
the items – we will do that. Turkeys & hams are $1.00 per lb. and
pies are $5.00 each. Make your check to the church and write
Thanksgiving Dinner in the memo section. (We need to purchase 60
pies, 200 lbs. of turkey & 100 lbs. of ham.
Thanksgiving Clean-up ~ We need clean-up helpers for
Thanksgiving. Last year, many of the people who came at 6:00
a.m. had to stay to help clean up. If you are able to come for even
a few hours beginning at noon on Thanksgiving Day, we would love to
have you. If you’re not sure, just show up.
There is plenty to do. Thanks, Jenifer
