FALL RETREAT
Presbyterian Women are collecting box top for education. These box tops will be sent to Thornwell Home for Children in Clinton, SC. This home has been taking in children and youth in need since its founding on October 1, 1875.
BOXTOPS FOR EDUCATION
The next PW meeting is June 12th at 11:30 AM.
Installation of Officers Luncheon will be held on June 12th at Moschetto’s in Young Harris. Plan to arrive between 11:30 and 12:00 noon. We will have the Banquet Room for our luncheon and will be ordering off the menu. We meet for lunch just twice a year—Christmas and the Installation Lunch. We will also be receiving our Birthday Offering and the “Last Least Coin” will be collected. We’re hoping all the women of the church will join us!
PW NOTES
SPRING AT THORNWELL
Adult sleeping bags, bug repellant, and individual bottles of sunscreen.
Spring has come to Thornwell Home for Children in Clinton, SC, as well as to us, living in these beautiful North Georgia mountains. With spring and summer, the children enjoy the outdoor activities and summer outings. Here is a “Wish List” that you might consider contributing to:
On the back cover of the 2009 Spring Edition of The Thornwell Life Magazine it states, “Thank You” for saving those Campbell’s soup labels and the General Mills box tops”. The PW of MPC also say “Thank You.” The monies and gifts received from these labels and box tops bring money as well as needed items to Thornwell, at no cost to them.
