▪ Saturday Kitchen
meal will be prepared and served by Washington
Mennonite church at the United Presbyterian Church in Washington on Saturday July 15th, 2017. Food
sign-up sheets and also sheets for persons to help in the kitchen or
serve food and beverages are located on the library table in the
foyer. Numbers of guests served each week in the past several months have
varied from a low number of fifty nine persons to a high of 86 persons.
Because of the lower number of guests we have cut back on our requests for food
items so you will see a shorter list. Please check the requests for both
food and help needed and sign-up. As a committee we appreciate your help. - Gloria Widmer, Sandy Buhrow and Phyllis
