UNITED METHODIST WOMEN
We meet the 2nd Thursday of the month at the Engadine United
Methodist Church. Joan Lynn is the President. We open with
devotions, a program and then we have our business meeting,
followed by light refreshments. The meetings start at 7

the church are welcome.
4th OF JULY BRAT/HOT DOG SALE, BAKE SALE, AND CUTLERY
SALE
The women have had the sale for several years in Naubinway
following the 4th of July parade and celebration. The sale
starts at about 10 a.m. and runs until 4 p.m. or until we
run out of food and baked goods. All the women of the church
bring baked goods for the sale and, believe me, there are
lots of goodies to buy. We also have goodies for those that
can't have sugar. There is usually sugar free cookies and
pies. Ruth McCarney made15 sugar free fruit pies for the
sale last year. We have all kinds of cutlery for that kitchen
of yours -- knives, spoons, spatulas, forks, choppers, etc.
Hope to see you on the 4th.
MAY FELLOWSHIP BREAKFAST

Friday of May. This year it is being planned for May 6 at

to bring a poem or reading about mothers if they want to
