Friday February 24, 2023

The sun is setting a little later each day. I am hearing the chirping of birds in the morning. Even this week, in the snow and cold, it feels like Spring will win again. 

Over my head I hear music in the air.
Over my head I hear music in the air.
Over my head I hear music in the air;
There must be a God somewhere!

Replacing the Projector & Finance Update

Replacing the Projector & Finance Update

A gentle reminder that we are trying to raise funds to replace one of the broken projectors.  We can’t afford to take any money out of operating right now which forces us to wait to order what we require and hope that the price doesn’t go up.  Any help you can give us would be much appreciated.

Again, a big THANK YOU for your continued support!
