Annual UMW Summer Picnic

Smiles all around!
Perfect day for a picnic
Trudy leads the business portion of the gathering
Sue makes an appeal for help with the apple dumplings
Amber is ready for the baby!
The annual summer picnic was held this afternoon at the home of Bonita Ziegler with thirty-five taking part.  The wonderful assortment of food brought for the potluck made this gathering a delight for one and all.

We presented Amber with a card shower in honor of her soon-to-be first baby.  Belinda and Pastor Charles presented Amber with a sweatshirt for the baby to grow into along with a copy of "Oh, Baby, the Places You Will Go!"

Sue Pearson and Bonita Z. made appeals (pun intended) for help with the making and selling of the apple dumplings at the Creamery Picnic.  Advance sales of dumplings will be accepted by contacting Sue or Bonita with pick-up being 3-6 pm on August 6.

One other item business was tended to following lunch with $150 being designated for the SUMC "Loaves & Fishes fund."
