Sendng out a BIG thanks!

Project 1707 is more than a service project. It is a complete program, and its success is dependent on a wide variety of activities. It is not just about the Saturday morning work crews, or demolition. There is planning, promotion, fund raising, communications with the family, and the general coordination with our central church.

A BIG thanks goes out today to Shannon Reding, Jennifer Cogley, and all of the persons involved in organizing a MAMMOTH fund raising luncheon tomorrow! They have solicited gifts for a huge silent auction. They have promoted the event to the entire community. And they have planned a free luncheon for more than 200 and spent less than $100 to do so! Their efforts will help us complete the final funding piece, and begin purchasing electrical supplies and insulation.

Be sure to show up and enjoy tomorrow at noon at the Grinnell United Methodist Church.

Thanks to the luncheon crew for all you have done to make this a success!

Join us for lunch to help the project!

There will be a fundraising lunch and silent auction on Feb. 22 at
11:45 am in the Friendship Center of the GUMC. The community is
invited. We will be serving lasagna, salad, bread, desserts and
drinks. A free will offering will be taken for the meal. The silent
auction items include, a gift certificate for dinner at Lonnski's and
movie passes, a tennis lesson, a fire station throw and tour of the
fire station with pizza for 8, tickets to Shult's and Co.'s spring
performance of "Live from Las Vegas", antiques and vintage clothing,
a gift certificate for 3 nights stay at Grandma's House, baked goods,
a quilt, a painting, theme baskets, and many other great items.
Money raised from this event will help to cover the cost of
insulation, dry wall and electrical wiring. If you have any
questions please call the church office at 235-3757.
