The Care & Counsel committee is updating the photo board outside of the community room. If you have a recent photo, no larger than 41/4 square inches of you or you with your family, please give it to Sally Rugg or Charlotte Davenport, or place it in the mailbox for Care & Counsel. Be sure to write name/s on the back in pencil. If you want to be photographed, speak to Sally; and she’ll take your picture. Previous photos will become part of a collage for the library, unless you want yours back.

I posted a new open group called, “Hens and Chicks”. My idea is for women of a certain age, and we know who we are, to get together with those women who haven’t reached that certain age to share stories, generational thoughts.

Since moving to this country about a year ago, Mary Judith has been unable to work because of the status of her immigration documents. Joseph has consulted his lawyer, whom he has known for a long while, for legal help in changing the status of her documents. Their total bill is $4655 - $1950 for legal fees; $1450 for the cost of changing the status of immigration documents and $1450 for medical testing.
Richmond Friends Meeting can not be an intermediary in this cause, but individuals can financially help them if they are so led. Gifts are not tax-deductible. Any gift to them should be given to Joseph and Mary Judith directly. For their contact information, please contact Sylvia Shurcliff.
