Parish Life—Help Needed
The Parish Life Commission is in need of volunteers to help in several areas, including transportation for members to doctor appointments, washing tablecloths after funerals, providing snacks for support groups, helping at the Welcome Center on Sundays, etc. If you are able to volunteer (often or occasionally), please contact Clara Kosmela.

Youth Fundraiser Part II: Visit The Wood Lot
The trip to The Wood Lot on June 11—the fundraiser for our youth—was a huge, fun success. However, there was a list of those who could not attend that date. The youth do not want to disappoint anyone, so a second open house and tour is scheduled for Saturday, July 9^th from 1 pm-3 pm. This time, private vehicles are the way to go. Refreshments will be served again—especially the kids’ homemade cookies!

If you have not signed up, or don’t have directions, contact Andy Appel. If this date still doesn’t work for you, tell Andy and he’ll try to accommodate.

All proceeds are for the youth group’s trip this July. We appreciate your generosity!

Book Club
Please join us on Tuesday, July 11 to discuss Testimony by Anita Shreve; in August, we will discuss The Boston Girl by Anita Diamont. We are happy to have new people join us! If you have any questions, please contact Clara Kosmela.
