Holiday Stroll details 2010
Hi Ladies,
Here are the details so far for the fair. Please check back frequently as there will be more information added as it becomes available.
• If you are one of the ladies baking cookies that will be sent to the other churches, you need to have your cookies at the St. Peter's church hall on Thursday. The church is open for Mass in the AM. There is a meeting downstairs after, but you could place the cookies on the table at the foot of the stairs if people are down there. If you have trouble with stairs, leave the cookies at the back of the church and call or email Beth 588-2076 bgurt@mcttelecom.com , so I will be looking for them. Here are the cookie bakers: Pat C, Vi, Connie, Joyce S, Kelly, Sue K, Simone & Beth
• If you are one of the 12 ladies making candy, they need to be at the church hall by Friday. We will be assembling them at 9:30AM before we head to Bass Hall.
• Bass Hall will be opened for us at 10:30AM on Friday for setup and we need to be out by 4PM on Friday.
• Bass Hall will be opened on Saturday @7:30AM and we need to be cleaned up by 3:45PM. The hall will be opened to the public from 9:30AM to 2:00PM.
• Card table providers: Linda C, Jean F, Sue K, Kathy S, Joyce S, Raymonde R, Mary Ann B, Barbara G. We also have two at the church hall for a total of 10 Please include your name on the underside.
• If you have items for the bake table, you can drop them off at Bass Hall Friday from 12ish to about 3ish. You also can drop them off Saturday morning-the earlier, the better. Friday is the best day. PLEASE PUT YOUR NAME ON ANY CONTAINERS YOU NEED BACK. Janice is accepting all baked goods and also could use a few more pies. Also, please label what the baked item is, even if it's obvious to you.
• We will be recycling all cardboard. If you need help breaking it down see Beth or Denise.
• Music schedule: Pat C 9:30-11 / Bell Ringers 11-12 / Chris F 12-1 / Dorothy 1-2
• We still need a few ladies to help out after the 9:30 and 11AM Masses on Sunday with the "after the Christmas Fair" sale. Helen is the "go to" person for this.

Pot Luck
Hello Ladies,
We hope that you all had a great summer. We are ready to go and this letter has most of the information you will need to get started on what we are sure will be a prayerful, productive and enjoyable year for us all.
The first item we need to mention is that regretfully, Joan Buck will not be able to resume her responsibilities as corresponding secretary. If you are interested in filling this spot, please let Kathy Sullivan know ksullivan@conval.edu or 924-9967.
The next item is that again this year, we will be serving our ice cream/brownie sundaes at the annual Church Picnic. We need brownies (please indicate nuts or no nuts) and ladies to work at our table. The setup is already covered, but we need 3 ladies to be at the table in 30 to 60 minute shifts, starting at 12PM so everyone can enjoy lunch with their families. If you can help out, please email Beth bgurt@mcttelecom.com or call 588-2076. Whatever brownies are left, we will freeze for our pot luck supper on the 20th.
Sadly, our next item involves the closing of St. Denis Church. September 19th at 9 o’clock, is the date chosen to decommission the church. We would like to be there to serve refreshments and offer our support. I will have more details as they become known to me, but it mostly involves having 5-6 WG members there to serve refreshments after Mass. If you think you could do this, talk to or email Beth.
Next is the pot luck on Monday Sept. 20th. Remember to TiVo, tape or dvr Dancing with the Stars, but don’t miss the annual pot luck! Please email Helen hlimina@ems.com or call 924-5088 to let her know what you will bring (desserts are already covered) and if you will bring a guest. Mass is at 6PM with dinner to follow. Please mark your casserole as “garlic free” if you are certain it is. We have a member who is allergic to garlic and don’t want her to miss the pot luck. We want to continue the raffle we had last year with an addition. If you bring a guest to the pot luck both you and your guest will be entered into a raffle for a free dinner which could be redeemed at either our Mystery Ride or our Spring Banquet. If you are over 80 and care to admit it, you membership is free. Also, we will reveal Secret Angels and pick out new ones.
I am sure I forgot something, but this is enough for now. This letter can be found on the DMWG Blog http://dmwomensguild.blogspot.com/
Blessings to all,
Denise and Beth
