Grow in your faith and connect with other faith filled women from the diocese! All women 18 years and older are welcome and encouraged to attend.
St. Edward CCW Service Commission (Jan Bot is chairperson) is sponsoring supply drives that will benefit some of our local services as well as reaching those further away. Now we would like to add the "One More Time" thrift store.
"One More Time" is doing well but if you would like to help them out in ways other than working at the store, some frequently used supplies would be welcome. Price stickers (without prices already printed on them), masking tape, tags with connectors, paper towels, toilet paper, glass cleaner, and baggies of all sizes. Hangers for children's size clothing are also needed.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Barb Guttormsson at 872.6931 or Brenda Verschelde at 507.317.9975. Thank you, especially to our "One More Time" volunteers!
