Ethel Kennedy Division Newsletter
November/December 2015
Hi Ladies,
I love this time of year, the colors all
around, and the smell of autumn in the
air!
The 24th Souperbowl was another great
success! A big thank you to everyone who
volunteered! As we know, it does take a
lot of volunteers that day, in order for it to
run smoothly. All kinds of delicious
soups, breads, and desserts were served
all day. The Music and the entertainment
was all day and excellent!
Monday, November 2, 2015 is our next
meeting, and we would like to see all of
you there! Social time is at 6:00 p.m.
and the meeting will start at 6:30 p.m.
Helping to set up the table and chairs
before the meeting and putting
everything away after the meeting is very
much appreciated!!
The October minutes will be available at
the meeting as we are unable to attach
them with the newsletter.are attached

In Friendship, Unity, and Christian Charity,

Please bring in non-perishable food items, can foods, cake mixes, boxed foods, and they can also use other items such as:
Paper Products
Toilet Paper
Kleenex
Cleaning Supplies
Laundry Soap
Face Soap

This charity will also count as our charity for An Gorta Mór in memory of the Famine.

this very important Mass. Our sister
