Knitters wanted – The Outreach and Communications Committee will once again host the Coady students in September with a service of celebration and a shared meal. This fall we would like to present a gift to the students of winter hats that will be put to good use over the fall and winter. We would appreciate support for this project, as there will be approximately fifty students attending Coady for the fall/winter session. If anyone in the congregation is willing to help by knitting a hat or two please speak to any of the members of the OCC Committee or call Beryl Publicover at 867-1889. Thank you for your support.
