 COMMUNITY CHRISTMAS DINNER SUMMARY - Dec. 10th, 2011

No Church Yard Sale - August 2011 Branch
Have you noticed that there has been no publicity for our annual church yard sale? That is because we are not having one! The fun-raising committee decided that all our efforts would be better focused on the Tongan Feast on August 13.
In case you have been saving up for this event, I sharing the following as a good location to make your donations. The First United Methodist Church in Santa Rosa sponsors a thrift store! It is called
The Angel’s Attic
411 “E” St
Santa Rosa
Open Monday-Friday 10:30am to 4pm Saturday 12noon to 4pm.
They have recently expanded their floor space, so they are happy to accept your gently used donations.
