2019 Service Auction Success!
The 2019 Service Auction was a great time and brought in over $6,000 to support our church’s programs! Such an endeavor requires great teamwork and many hands. We had lots of volunteers helping with everything from set up, lunch, and tallying the bids. There are many people to thank- and we’ll be sure to do that in the monthly outlook - but the two ringleaders were Paula Marchese and Katherine Flynn. Their tireless work and coordination made it all possible. Thanks everyone!

It is a biography of four women whose work became beyond invaluable in the 60's. Rachel Carson, Jane Jacobs, Jane Goodall and Alice Waters. They were women of different backgrounds, who envisioned a world where environmentalists took center stage. The author notes that this was the period in our history where "post-war America was waging a war on nature, with wrecking balls and toxic pesticides, paving our beautiful land, to put up vast suburban parking lots". If you have not gotten a chance to read the book no worries, please join us for a lively talk.
