Have
a Heart! Show the Love!
Please take time to stop by the valentine table in
the undercroft during the next two weeks to write a short message to our
college freshmen. By now, the shiny has
probably worn off the gee-whiz-I’m-at-college feeling, and with these kids all
at Midwestern schools, they might be feeling the soul-sapping effects of scarce
sunlight and gracious plenty wind and snow.
Let’s lift them up with some goofy mail!
You’ll find all you need to write a simple message in the spirit of
Saint Valentine, the patron saint of young people. Many thanks to Nichole Dailor for this great
idea! If you know a college freshman who
would enjoy this, please contact Dee McManamy, and we’ll happily
add him/her to the mailing list!
FUNDRAISER!
