What’s Cookin’ at Outreach
Our next Outreach meeting will be Sunday, March 12, at noon in the downstairs library. We will make plans to cook and serve dinner for the residents at Samaritan Inn. This will be our first outside project since Covid-19 and we are very excited about it.
A Note of Thanks
Our Shrove Tuesday dinner was very well attended and there was a plentiful bounty of goodies devoured. I want to thank these dedicated volunteers that assisted in the dinner.
