CASA: CITIZENS AGAINST SPOUSE ABUSEE
 Violence Breaks Up Families... and Ruins Lives
Due the economy, CASA funding has been cut. The safe houses are in need
of groceries-- especially food cards from any grocery store, in any
amount, will be greatly appreciated.
Since June, our church has donated 31 bags/boxes to CASA, which included
clothing, household items, books, and non-perishable food. A big "thank
you" to everyone who has contributed.
During this flu season they especially need hand sanitizers for the safe
houses, as well as paper products such as toilet paper and paper towels.
They also need laundry detergent. Please bring all your donations to
church marked CASA. Thank you for your generosity.
 WANTED -
YOUR PHOTOS
We would like your pictures from church events to be included in our
monthly newsletter and on our parish website. If you have digital
pictures please e-mail them to Donna
Tripp at the office.
A
total of 200 prints have been made and
signed as a fundraiser for our church.
The signed, unframed prints are $20 each,
and would make a great gift for someone who
has a wedding or a baptism, etc. in our
church. The prints could be matted with the
date of the event to commemorate a special
occasion.
These prints are available in the church
office, and proceeds will benefit our parish. |
