PRESBYTERIAN WOMEN : Since the film about the Senior Olympics was just recently shown during the Adult Education time we will have a different program on May 21 at 9:30. Fran will be returning with a film and an update about the MOMA Hospital in the Republic of the Congo where she spent so much time growing up as a daughter of Presbyterian missionaries. Fran’s first presentation to us was widely received with good attendance and much interest so this return engagement will be of interest to many. Please come for our final program until next September. Those who are interested will go out to lunch following the meeting.

WOMEN\'S BOOK GROUP: Women\'s Book Group The book for discussion this Wednesday, May 22nd at 6 pm is The Tiger\'s Wife: A Novel by Tea Obreht.

MEMORIAL DAY COOK OUT: The time has come to get ready for our delicious Memorial Day cook out!!!!! As you know the church furnishes the meat (Steve will be grill master) and drinks. We  would like for everyone to bring a salad, vegetable, or dessert to share. (Don\'t worry if you forget, we always have plenty.) Also, you might bring your own table service (a little greenness) to help out with the water and electricity. The kitchen crew could use some help getting the tables set up, serving,  and with the cleanup. Many hands makes light work. Let Sara know if you are a willing helper. We always look forward to our cook outs, and this year  promises to be no exception!

HELP! HELP! Coffee preparer needed for next Sunday, May 26 to help Sara with the cook out beverages. Call Sara at 884-4217
