     First of all I want to apologize for my error, the Elementary School Children will be selling pizza’s for a fund raiser and I put the wrong phone number for Ruth Little at school the number is 326-4618, and Annie Purrier is 326-4124, they needed volunteers to help put the pizza’a together on the 29th of this month.

     The Montgomery Quilting Circle does many wonderful things for the Community and I for one sincerely appreciate all that they do, the 25 Sunshine quilts are given, they helped with a purchase of oil for a young mother, and what ever things I’m not aware of, God Bless you all for your generous giving.   The group had a wonderful Christmas potluck and exchange of gifts.  

     The devastating earth quake in Haiti is need of our help, the United Methodist Church will be accepting donatins to send, if you wish to help, send donations to UMC, PO Box 184, Montgomery, Vermont 05470,  Thank You!!!!  (Through UMCOR every cent goes to the Haitian people.)

We extend our heartfelt sympathy to the family and friends of Alberta Lumbra.  The ladies of St. Isidore’s Parish had a delicious roast pork dinner for all the family and friends following the memorial service on 1/16/10.  Thanks to all that prepared and helped.

     The Ladies 500 Card Club met at the home of Eva Lumbra on 1/13, everyone was receiving a hand about one o’clock some were good and not so good, the high score for the afternoon went to Therese Demar, second high to Linda VanGieson and most horses to sub sally Newton, Rita Tatro and Lois Lumbra were also subs.  Therese Demar will have the February meeting at St.Isidore’s Parish Hall.
