Forget
about school and pressures that weigh on your minds?
Join
us on Wednesday nights from 7-9 p.m. in the Great
Room
for games, ping pong, bad mitton, twister, cards and
some
wholesome good times. This would be a great

to grab a friend and get out of the house. For

this week on Tuesday, morning at 10:30 a.m. Kathryn Warren will provide

what we are all about!
Summer Vacation & Camp Vick
It’s never too early
to think about summer vacation! When school is out, the kids will be longing
for some fun get-a-ways with the family and friends. Camp Vick is one of many
ways to break in the summer with recreation and leisure activities. Contact
Beth DeLooza at 536-3162 for more information about Camp Vick and its
opportunities.

months away but it is never too early to start the planning for VBS. This
