Lakeland Park 385-0854 Women's Club Spring Luncheon Very Successful Last Wednesday, April 12, there was a large turnout for the spring luncheon which was spoieored by the Lakeland park Women's club. The chicken salad was delicious and everyone enjoyed the hone made oookies and jello molds. Many were able to stay and play cards. There were lots of beautiful prizes which some very lucky people took home with them. The tables were beautifully decorated. Everyone was wearing a smile and seemed to be enjoying themselves. A great big orchid goes to all the club members who worked so hard to make this event a success. Members of the club made food, set up tables, served food, made the decorations af terwards. and cleaned up Church Women United DRAINAGE DITCH PROBLEM On Sunday the rains came down and the floods came up in Lakeland Park. Everyone was lamenting the fact that there was water in their yards and septic systems. But, did you know that the drainage ditch was running very slowly because the culvert was almost completely blocked. Among the debris that was keeping the water from flowing through the culvert were a door frame, a railroad tie, logs and various other junk. After Rudy Lense pulled that junk out of the creek, the water went down and the storm drains began working. Two hours later when he went down to the creek to check, all the debris had been thrown back in. The point is, it is no accident that there is a lot of junk being thrown in. Kids were heard bragging that they were the ones who blocked the culvert so no water could go through. Please let's everyone keep an eye on things from now on. The Lake-Region unit of Church Women United will celebrate jfay Fellowship Day May 5 at St. Thomas Catholic church, Rt. 176, in Crystal Lake, in an exciting new way this year. Multi-celebrations will be held in homes all over the area as small groups of women explore the' theme, "Behold the Woman." From a Christian perspective they will seek ways to develop the potential of women to be full participants in society. As they try to deepen their com­ prehension of their faith as Christians and of themselves as women, their discussions will also focus upon the broader problem of recognizing and developing the untapped human resources cf all people. Since the first May Fellowship day observances in 1933, church women have used the first week in May to em­ phasize the creative and healing relations that are possible among community. Each explore new ways to share God's love through just relationships in society. The small celebrations permeating the community on May Fellowship day< this year represent the diversity that is to be found in Church Women United. They will be microcosms of the pluralism in the community and the world. Since the women from varied racial, economic and educational backgrounds will represent such a diversity of resources and experiences, the sessions will be characterized by discovery and the exchange cf new ideas. This is valuable today when women are discovering that what they thought were personal problems are corporate ones - problems that women have in common because of societal structures, myths and unrealistic expectations. The women will think not only about today's world, but also about the future and how women fit into it. They will consider the questions, "What is God calling women (and all people) to do and to be?", "Whatstands in the way of our full response?" and "What are the things at work in us as women now, to support our responding to God's call to wholeness?" Hopes, dreams and speculations about what the future could hold will be shared freely, as each group creates a picture of the world they want to live in. "Behold the Woman" discussions will naturally lead to action, each group and community determining the kind and direction. Task forces may be formed to make some cf the "dreams" of the women concrete. Consciousness- raising groups may spring up. Whether the action is directed toward changes in attitude, legislation, or both, it will help remove burdens and limitations placed on many persons by society in general. Since women are part of the corporate society that wrongs many individuals and groups of persons, they must work in corporate ways to remove that kind of injustice. May Fellowship day will be an enabling experience as they seek to do this. The meeting at St. Thomas church Friday, May 5, will be an integral part in the series of area meetings. Han to attend the 12:30 luncheon followed by a special program! Nursery care will also be available. There will be further details regarding the program in next week's issue.
