Seven women including 2 guests met in the EPC Friendship Hall on Wednesday, April 10 for a business meeting , lunch and to hear speaker Andrea Wyatt tell us about Cocoon House.
Pat Thrasher from Terrace View Church where the Neighbors-in-Need food bank is located informed us that the 150 Easter Baskets our church put together were given out by Linda R and Kathy C of our church and were greatly appreciated by the people receiving them. One lady receiving two baskets for her children even cried with gratitude when she saw how beautiful the baskets were. There were still 20 or more cars in line after all the baskets were given out and they easily could have used 30 more. Many thanks to all the people from our church who donated to our project of securing the many materials needed to put the baskets and those who donated money to make it possible to purchase the baskets and small fluffy animals and candy that went into them. Also thanks to the 13 people who showed up to put the baskets together. Many hands make light work...it only took 2 hours to put the 150 baskets together under the direction of Ruth R, Mission Chairman.
When it was announced that the kitchen needed paper plates, one of the members went home and brought a big stack of paper plates from her own supply and donated them to the church to use. A big “THANK YOU” to Laura D for her instant solution to our request.
Last meeting the suggestion was made that we sponsor a rummage sale in our parking lot and donate the proceeds to the church to help pay for the new roof.
After a lunch of lasagna, salad and apple pie we all joined into a discussion how Cocoon House helps homeless youth ages 13 to 24 with a place to stay, showers, laundry facilities, computers, and a quiet place to study or just hang out. They have nurses and counselors available to provide help as needed.
Our next meeting will be at 12 noon at the Pancake Haus on May 8. All women are invited to come and guests are welcome.
