The 2009-2010 church year will come to a close and our new year will begin on September 1, 2010.  I would be neglectful if I did not give thanks to the members of the Hostess Committee for allowing me to act as their Chairperson.  When I agreed to attempt filling this position, Carolyn Cheshire told me that if I would take the job she would “help me in any way”.  After this year, I can tell you that if Carolyn tells you she will do something, you can “take it to the bank”.  I never did figure out if she was actually ON the committee, but she was right there through every event and activity.  Now, that is service and love. Speaking of service and love, your new Hostess Committee looks much like last years, with the addition of Ramona Rabon.  Alice McKenney, present Co-Chairperson, Pat Revel, Lorraine Parker and Michelle Poston will be returning this year along with alternates, Vi Payton and Ann Windham.  Paulette, thanks for all those trips you took to Sam’s for us this year. Again, many thanks for the help, encouragement and support this year.  Seek out a member of your Hostess Committee and just say “thanks” for a job well done.  They will appreciate it.  Homecoming will be coming up in October.  Please keep Kristin and that committee in your thoughts and prayers.  If you are asked to help, do it.  It will truly be a blessing.
