Presbyterian Women's Annual Report 2006/2007

We have completed another year of the Presbyterian Women's calendar. It has been a great year that began in September, 2006.

Our first notice for donations to pay for study material and other needed items brought good results of $383.00

In October, we sent "treats" to our college students. A special thanks to Dot Smith and her committee for coordinating this event.

Our Harvest Dinner in November was a huge success, thanks to Susanne Van Dyke and the Evening Circle.

In December, we had our joint meeting. It was a well-attended, lovely luncheon. Our thanks to Valerie Campbell and Bess Darby and their committee for a job well done. Also in December, Margaret Nix and her committee handled the "Joy Gift" program. We received $182 in donations and it was a great program. In addition, during December, we sponsored the "Shoebox Christmas" boxes. Susanne and the Evening Circle did a great job organizing this ministry once again.

January and February were very light months; poor weather caused some problems with meetings. But in March, we were hostesses for the community-wide "World Day of Prayer" service. Billie Breedlove and her committee did their usual stellar job.

Next, in April, we sponsored a brunch for our three high school graduates at the home of Briggs and Dot Smith. Our thanks to Dot and her committee for their efforts in this delightful brunch.

Finally, in June, after being postponed several times, we had our annual Birthday Celebration. We offer our thanks to Sarah Dell Gray and her committee for an excellent job organizing that event. We presented a Life Membership in PW USA to Margie Lightsey.

Now we have a new year to look forward to. We must all do our part if we are to keep the flames burning in our church and our community. Our new year will begin soon. The Presbyterian Women's Fall Cluster meeting will take place on August 11th, 2007 at the First Presbyterian Church in Oxford at 9:00 A.M. I hope to see you there! God bless each of you.
