Good Times Had By All

Thanks to everyone that came out tonight. It was great to see everyone. We are especially glad that Cara, Brenda and Lisa were able to join us. We missed those of you that were unable to make it and hope to see you next month on July 19th.

Have a great week.

Late Reminder

(I apoligize for not posting this sooner. We've had out of town company for a week and this just slipped right by me! Sorry! Angie)

Please plan to join us at East Lake Community Church this Saturday (June 21) for our monthly crop. We'll be there from 5:00 - 11:15. Bring a friend and a snack to share and join us for a great time.

Also, the card ministry is collecting hand made cards for anyone wishing to give a card or two. "Blank" cards have been donated if you wish to make some on Saturday for the card ministry. They have a specific need for baby cards right now.

Don't forget, if you plan to go on the retreat in October the first payment is due June 30th.

Hope to see everyone on Saturday.

FYI - Retreat?

Just a note to let you know that we are once again working to schedule a scrapping retreat. The target date is in October. We are trying to keep the cost below $100. Keep this in mind as you are planning your fall calendar and check back for more information.

We had a great time last Saturday, fellowshiping with friends and meeting new ones. Welcome to Lydia's sister, Angie! Those of you who were camping with girl scouts, out with the flu or otherwise engaged, we missed you! Hope to see everyone next month....

May Crop

We had a wonderful time on Saturday. We were so glad that Vivian and Denise joined us. It was great to meet each of them. We missed those of you that were unable to attend and hope to see you in May. Mark your calendar for Saturday, May 17th, from 5:00-11:15. We will be at the church in the youth room. I'll send out a reminder about a week before the actual day.

Have a blessed week.

April Crop

Happy April! With all this rain there should definitely be May flowers. I hope to see everyone on Saturday the 12th. Remember we will be at the church this month. For those of you not familiar with the church location, the address is 10057 Broad River Road, Irmo, SC 29063. You can call my cell if you have problems finding it, 206-6784.

The card ministry is in need of "Baby" cards. Blank cards have been donated if anyone would like to make some cards, baby or otherwise, for the card ministry. I know they would greatly appreciate anything you were willing to make. April is always very greatful and complimentary of the cards that we make for them.

So far I have spinach dip and drinks. If you plan to attend, please respond to this e-mail so that we will have enough tables set up. Bring a friend (new to the group) and pick a prize! Sorry, flat screen tv's are not on the list.;)

Have a great week!
