United Methodist Women February Meeting
Well, "winter" was a bit late arriving this year, but is now here in all its glory . . . snow, ice and cold temperatures! So, with that thought in mind, weather permitting, we will have our February UMW meeting on Tuesday, February 21, 2012, at 10:00 A.M. in Fellowship Hall. This meeting will still follow a bit different format than our usual meetings. Once again, instead of our usual
monthly program and general meeting, we will finish assembling the Health, School and Layette kits for UMCOR. For those that haven't donated any items yet for any of the kits and would like to, there is still plenty of time to do so! You can still bring in your contributions at any time up until February 21st, and leave them in the designated boxes under the UMW table in Fellowship Hall. Also, for those that aren't quite sure what types of things to shop for, you will find a list of the requested items for each of the kits posted on the UMW bulletin board, as well as copies of the lists on the table near the bulletin board. Please feel free to take a copy of the lists to aide you in your shopping. Any, and all contributions will be greatly appreciated!
Also, for a change of pace, this will be a luncheon meeting again, with lunch being provided by Janet Schurko. Please join us on February 21st for good Fellowship, good fun in working together to assemble the kits, and good food! Hope to see you there!
God Bless!

UMW Kits For UMCOR
This year the United Methodist Women will be assembling kits for the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) instead of Church World Services as we did in past years.
UMCOR Supply Kits help to care for the most vulnerable people during times of crisis, whether caused by war, conflict or natural disaster. The kits also help to sustain everyday life by providing basic necessities to people who lack ready access to essential supplies.
The UMW will be assembling Health Kits, Layette Kits and School Kits. We hope that you will consider helping us with this project by donating some of the items for these three kits if you are able. There will be a list of the requested items for each of the kits posted on the UMW bulletin board in Fellowship Hall, as well as copies of the lists on the table near the bulletin board. If you would prefer not to shop for anything, any monetary donations would also be very
welcome and very much appreciated. Please give any monetary donations directly to Carolyn Wilderman.
For those donating items for the kits, you will find several boxes in Fellowship Hall after Thanksgiving where you can leave your donations. We will continue to collect items until February 2012.
Thank you in advance for your help with this very worthwhile project. I’m confident that if we all work together on this, we can make a big difference in the lives of some of the needy children and families whether they be near or far away!
God Bless You and Keep You Well!
Janet Schurko, UMW Secretary
