MEMORIAL
Barbara Dunn asked if Allamanda would be interested is a memorial for Carolyn Paige, who passed away last month. I’ve scanned in a Pamphlet, on Esther House Women’s Reentry Ministry. It is in a separate
PDF file. We will discuss what we would like to do at our next meeting. Whether we want to contribute money, quilts or if there are other suggestions. BJ mentioned that their neighborhood gives Stepping Stones . Barb thought that Carolyn’s husband Al wasn’t ready for something like that. The Meeting was adjourned. Followed by the 50-50 and Show and Tell. Respectfully Submitted, Ellen Miller - Secretary
