UWFaith:
 

Travis Anderson presented a very interesting and informative program at our June meeting about an organization called “Hope Child Africa”. The organization helps poverty-stricken families in Kenya receive clean water and basic housing. It also provides school supplies and shoes to children in need.

If you are interested in learning more, you may follow Hope Child Africa on Facebook. If you would like to contribute, you may go online to PayPal Hope Child Africa, or contact Travis or Marlys Anderson.

We very much appreciate the generous gift from United Women in Faith. Thank you and God bless you!

 

We are very sorry to report that the Terri Lynn Company (the company from whom we purchased our nuts and candies each year) has gone out of business. The reason is “commodity increases”.

The Terri Lynn Company would need to increase their prices going forward and we, in turn, would have to increase our prices. This means the product would become too expensive for our customers to purchase.  

We want to thank all of you for supporting our fundraising project throughout the years. We will miss the nuts and candies-they were delicious! Everyone had their favorites, and it had become an annual tradition!

Now we hear, “What will we give for Christmas gifts?”

And from Marlys, “Will I still be the Nut lady?” Absolutely!
