- Meals on Wheels: Joan and Dwane Clements are new volunteers and did three days during the week, however Lillian Mink fell on the ice getting out of her car and is recovering. Ginny Becker-Commings also took a day when Barb Greenwald was unable to volunteer. If you know of any other possible people who would be able to help with this important project, please contact Alyson. Our next delivery date will be the end of May.
- PADS continues to need volunteers on the 2nd Wednesday of the month, which is March 12th. The volunteers for this month so far will be J Fazel, Kelly Stover, Alyson Beucler & Mary Rees Freeman.
- The Soup Kettle is this Tuesday, March 18th at Zion Lutheran Church from 4-6:30pm. Mary Rees Freeman will check the church for determining and will meet with J Fazel to check out his supply of fresh vegetables on Monday for the meal as well. Mary Rees Freeman suggested in adding a time breakdown in the bulletin and for the e-mail blast to reflect the activity. Such as: 4-5:30pm meal preparation and dining room set-up, 5:30-6:30pm serving the meal to the guests and 6:15-6:45pm is clean-up and dinning room re-set.
- Mission Work: Sheila Burris reported that the proposal to send volunteers to Humboldt Park UMC to help them facilitate an office move in their building had to be cancelled because we did not receive any members to volunteer for this project.
- Red Cross Flood Buckets and Health Kits - This information will need to be placed in the bulletin for the collection to begin for this project. Kelly and Kara will work on getting several buckets and kits put together for a display and collection area in the Fellowship Hall. Kelly noted that the disinfectant dish soap was omitted from the list and this needs to be corrected.
- Farmers Market: Sandy Kaptain will get the schedule and will continue to work with these groups to have several market days here at Epworth and also work on signage for these events.
- The committee also discussed the possibility of having another plant sale in conjunction with the Garage Sale that is scheduled for June 7th.
- Nothing but Nets Project – Alyson complemented Kelly and Kara on a job well done on the bulletin board. The committee discussed options for a fundraiser for this project. Maybe something with the children like basketball free throw game/competition. For the smaller children maybe something like Bozo buckets. It was suggested that maybe we could do this in conjunction with one of the Wednesday evening dinners before the end of April. These dates are Wednesday, April 9th and Sunday, April 13th. We will ask to do a child’s time presentation with a net during the services.
- The Warren Village in Denver Colorado is the Rainbow project for March.
- New Projects: Kara is working on a new approach and design for the newsletter. Discussion on Garden Plots being offered to members for rent on our church property on unused land.
Next Mission Meeting will be April 20, 2008 at 9:45am.
