This Week at WMCH- 7/15/09
July 15, 2009 | Comments Off
The following email was sent to members of Western Mass Catholic Homeschoolers. To Join please email wmch@crossfire.org
Hello Friends, and we hope you are having a lovely summer full of refreshment.
Prayer:
We have been asked to pray for Ann Millet’s mother, Mildred, who has blood clots in her lungs, and for their family. We have also been asked to pray for those searching for work (including my husband and John H), for college students trying to solve their financial aid dilemmas and for everyone traveling.
Conference:
The Observer –week of June 19, and Real to Reel – Saturday July 11, each did a beautiful piece about the Conference. Our thank you’s to everyone involved!
Also we have received lovely thank you notes from the ministries we supported. Also Cindy Montanaro would like to announce that the summer issue of “The Traditionalist” is out with an excerpt from Diary of a Country Mother interspersed with photos of Tim. If you would like to see the article send me an email— the attachment is large.
Newsletter:
Only 10 people have sent me their membership registration for next year—and while I appreciated the needed break I do want to have everything in place for next year before the September edition arrives in your home in August.
Free Furniture:
There is a lawyer in our office building in Holyoke who is moving into a
smaller office. She has a large office desk, a credenza, a secretary
(fold down desk/cabinet), a copier(single sheet feed) and a curio style
cabinet that she needs to get rid within the next week. Give me a call
at 315-9999 if interested and I will put you in touch. She is also
throwing out a bunch of law books if anyone is interested in those.
Christine
