December Friday Night Connect - Thanks to Laurena and Ralph for organizing and hosting the Progressive Dinner. Over 60 folks participated, with many saying “let’s do this in the summer too”. Thanks to all those who hosted and to all the guests who enjoyed some wonderful food and fellowship.
Shelter Helps - Last March Roger & Catherine were able to go to El Salvador to help build homes. This was a very rewarding trip, and they are making plans to go again in March 2025.
