REMINDER - MEETING THIS WEEK! Thursday morning, March 19th, 7:00 am Cabin Coffee.
We will have our morning meeting on Thursday, 3/19. Kathy R. hosts Kevin Jacobsen from the noon club to talk about the “Sleep in Heavenly Peace” Program.
Last week Ken hosted Rick Heidick from the District to talk to us about the LIFT program. This is the former Fast for Hope. The club collected a free will offering and donated our breakfast money to the LIFT program (as we have always done for Fast for Hope). In total we were able to donate $550 for this international project. It was a great program that explained how it was focused on helping address extreme poverty. Thank you Rick and Thank you club members!
We had a couple of updates from Mark and Cathy regarding the Shell Lake Companion Club. There are about 12-14 fully interested participants. We held a vote that the Sunrise Club wanted to sponsor another companion club.
Clare motioned that we support the companion club. This was seconded by Kathy R. Jason called the vote and it was unanimously supported! The Shell Lake Companion Club will need 12 definite members to start. We will hear more going forward.
A couple of reminders:
Visioning excercise will happen end of April - date coming soon.
Still collecting for Crutches for Africa - any mobility related items can be given/brought to our meeting this week or to Tyler at his business.
NEGU - IMPORTANT THIS IS NEXT WEEK! Please sign up to help on March 27. We are still in need for volunteers - use the link below to sign up! The main Joy Jar event is from 1:00-3:00, but there are preparations and boxing/packing and clean up shifts as well. We will have our social gathering following this event. Hope everyone can make it!
Rubies Pantry is this weekend - this would have been our regular schedule - please attend to help out if you are able.
May 14-22 we will have representatives from the Czech Republic visiting our community. We are looking for hosts for this visit. Please contact Kathy R. or Deb Neuheisel if you are interested.
