Homemakers Extension Mission Film Showing , Review Treasurer Bond At Methodist Meeting The monthly general meeting of the United Methodist Women of the First United Methodist church of McHenry, held recently began with a potluck luncheon. The program for the af­ ternoon was a film strip on the Red Bird Methodist mission in Kentucky. The pictures were very good and the narration excellent. This is the mission where the youth of the church went to help this spirng, repairing, painting and various other jobs all of which they found very, very rewarding: and certainly most enriching in their christian life. Mrs. Marlene Strohman read a poem from one of the newsletters from the Red Bird mission whicn was very in­ spiring. She also spoke about experiences at the Mission and had literature which was enlightening. She also had data on their craft center, and un­ doubtedly a booth at the next fall bazaar will feature items from there for sale. The meeting had been called to order by President Patricia Esposito, with a circle count. A letter from Gloria Cassell was read explaining her resignation as christian personhood. She sent her meditations for the meeting, along with a very beautiful poem she composed entitled "Circle". A recommendation from the U.M.W. Mission team (executive committee) was read, suggesting that all monies earned in serving dinners, luncheons, and receptions or parties, be used to purchase needed equipment for the kitchen and dining room,; and to make replacements on old or missing items. This met with unanimous approval. A motion was made to send an additional check to the Elgin District treasurer, which also was approved. Mention was made of the School of Missions to be held July 28 through Aug. 2 and women of the U.M.W. are urged to try to attend, even if only for the one day session. It was reported that three members had attended the Leadership Training day at Cary Nov. 14. All indicated it was informative and will be helpful in carrying out the duties and work of the U.M.W. throughout the year. On Thursday, Dec. 15, the U.M.W. will have a Communion service and Christmas brunch beginning at 10 a.m. Pastor Ruth Wickersham will par­ ticipate in the Communion service, and the Mount Hope U.M.W have been invited. There will be a babysitter in attendance. All the youngsters attending "Head Start" at the church were presented with a pair of hand knit mittens, this being a special project of the U.M.W. The next general meeting will be the Cormnunion service and brunch Thursday, Dec. 15 at 10 a.m. The November meeting of the board members of the McHenry county Homemakers Extension association was held Monday. Nov. 14 at the Farm Bureau building. Most council members and advisory members were present. Among the items under discussion was the voting on the bonding of the treasurers. President Connie Steffen requested that all units send in their ballots very soon. Unit flags were also discussed and it was hoped that all the units have their banners ready by April to be displayed at the annual meeting. They should measure 18x24 placed on a 36 inch pole. The council's annual Christmas party will be held at Mrs. Edward Stecks home in- Cary. It will be a potluck and gift. exchange, with each bringing a handmade gift. The advisory members were asked to discuss in their units the Save The Sight fund and Pennies for Friendship funds, questioning whether donations should be given to each or to alternate years. Also all members are asked to save and bring to meetings all good U.S.A. cancelled stamps for resale purposes to stamp companies abroad. These stamps buy food for starving children of the world.
