​Women’s Association

A salad luncheon and lively discussion of our mission projects was enjoyed by seven women at the Friendship Hall of the church on Wednesday, June 11. Mission chairman Ruth R read off a list of our 11 mission recipients and gave a summary of the activities of each. Jan Griffiths has retired in Sweden and no longer needs our support. Mathew House that supported the Monroe prison families is also now closed. Contributions of $730 to the mission fund were collected by acting treasurer Margaret S, who will distribute the funds. This should enable us to send $70 to each of our mission recipients Cheaper-By-The-Day store in Lynnwood contributed a box of new socks to Operation Nightwatch which Julie R and Margaret S delivered along with a collection of toiletries. The entire church took up a collection of $95 which is also being sent to them. Anyone wishing to contribute to the mission fund may do so by sending a check to Edmonds Presbyterian Church with a note designating that it is for the Women’s Association Mission Fund during the next 2 weeks. US Bank where we have had an account for several years has now begun to charge us a service fee. Since we need to make every penny count we plan to move our account to Washington Federal Bank in Edmonds during the summer. Linda R and Julie R volunteered to be additional check signers for the account along with Margaret S. Our next meeting will be at the church on September 10. Best wishes to everyone to have a safe and happy summer.
