ANNOUNCEMENTS KEEP THE BELLS RINGING! Our bell choir provides us with beautiful music (in and out of doors!). Our bells, acquired used in 1983, are in need of refurbishing at a cost of $1875 (a new set costs $5025!) The vestry has committed the funds for this project from our Capital Improvement Fund (blue envelopes), but as you know we have had several major projects completed in the past year. The vestry decided to ask for special donations for this cause, and were started off with a generous $1,000 contribution. To date, $1,345. has been raised. If you wish to join in this effort, mark your donation "bells." Louise Olshan, director of the bell choir, and all the members thank you! WE WELCOME Hannah Margaret LeBar.
