A big thank you to Sue K for all her help with the Parish Picnic.

November 23rd is our annual Holiday Stroll and the craft group is looking for member donations. Yvonne M asked if there are any members who would like to contribute to the Fair realizing many of you have great skills but are not able to attend our craft meetings. Please contact Yvonne with your contributions.

Jean discussed the possibility of sponsoring another Community Supper.  Fourteen members agreed the Community Supper was a good idea. Helen L will coordinate this project unless someone else volunteers.

Generations Together, an activity for grandchildren and their grandparents to make Advent wreaths, will be held after the Saturday night Mass on Nov 30th.  Beth M requested funding for this project. The Guild passed the motion to fund up to $150.

Prayer Chain requests are sent out by Beth M by email.  Please notify Beth (dmprayerchain@gmail.com) if you would like to add a name to the prayer chair or if you would like to request a paper copy.

Linda C. spoke about the Sisters of Mercy fundraiser. Raffle tickets and breakfast tickets were sold at the meeting. The Women’s Guild sponsored a $100 movie night theme basket designed by Linda. Six themed baskets will be raffled off on Columbus Day weekend. The Sisters are hoping to raise $10K.

Thank you to Denise L. and Cheryl L. who were the coordinators of the potluck dinner.

Thank you to all who contributed the many wonderful culinary delights we had for dinner. It was suggested we match this effort at our annual Christmas dinner!

Secret Angels were revealed and new names were selected.

 Denise read a “Right – Left” story and the wining prize was the beautiful flower centerpiece at each table.

 Respectfully submitted,

 Janice McKenzie
