All items are organic and they are special. Come try something new. We will have decaf this time, so come and see us. Thanks for supporting Missions.

ANOTHER YEAR IN THE ART HALL
How better to begin than with the glitter and glamour of costumes and dresses from the collection of Jeanette Murphy. Each piece has been designed, created, sewn and worn by Jeanette while dancing. Her collection is extensive and exquisite! This is going to be great! Note: We have lined up several folks from our own congregation to show in the Art Hall this year. Please let an Art Hall Lady know if you too would like to participate. Susan sl.mcm@comcast.net or Dana dlmcm@comcast.net.

THRIFT SHOP NEEDS HELP
Because of winter vacations and illness, UMW is in need of more volunteers for the Thrift Shop. The shop is open 9:00 until 1:00 on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. Volunteers sort donations and act as clerks at the shop, helping customers and accepting payment for purchases. This is a fun job, with at least two people on duty at all times. Please call Elaine Stewart, 425.412.3237 to volunteer. You will work with an experienced volunteer and you're going to love it! We hope you'll visit the Thrift Shop soon and see what great stuff we have for sale!
