ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Thank you to Bela, Kathy, Jim, John, Ellen, Nick, Steve, Alan, Suzanne, Mike, Don & Carl for helping with the Salvation Army's bell ringing over the weekend. We collected $350 in the kettle on Friday and Saturday's numbers were still TBD. Interact also sang during the Friday 3-5pm shift, which was a huge hit!
The preliminary amount raised from our "Flock a Friend" fundraiser is $850. (Net) Not too bad considered most of our flock migrated!
Tickets and 50/50 tickets were distributed for the Pancake Breakfast. Matt Dorcas is hard at work selling placemat ads. Ads are $20 a piece and the form is on our website in the 'Downloads' section.
