If you have any questions about this project, or to hand in your donation, please see Father or Pani during Coffee Hour. Names are already beginning to come it. Deadline to submit names will be Sunday 18 November.

Make plans now: Fall ‘Clean-Up Day’ will be on Saturday 17 November. Yes, it is the same day as our Bake Day, so if you are not helping at one event, please help with the other.
