Dates to
Remember ...
May 22 - Thursday
UMW Board Meeting, 7:00 p.m., Room 210
The UMW book cart, located in the library, is now easily assessable to all. The cart is no longer locked in the
closet. We hope this makes it easier for you to participate in the reading program.
A card is placed in the back of each book. Write your name and the date you check out the book on the card. There are separate envelopes for each circle. Place the card in your circle’s envelope. Upon returning the book, remove the card from the envelope, cross off your name and return the card to the back of
the book. Please return the book as soon as you have finished reading it so others
may have an opportunity to read it.
Ladies who are not UMW members are welcome to check out books. Follow the same instructions including your phone number. Return all books within two weeks.
Enjoy the books and READ, READ, READ!
"
... and is well known for her good deeds, .... helping those in trouble
and devoting herself to all kinds of good deeds." 1 Timothy 5:10
