Donations for the Infant Pantry are collected on the first Sunday of each month. Most needed items are things for baby care - diapers (especially sizes 5 and 6), creams, shampoos,and lotions. Baby food and formula are not needed a this time. If you want to donate money, then the check should be made out to CCN (Community Compassionate Network) with memo “Infant Pantry.” Please contact Tom Moffit ([email protected] or 772-1602) with any questions.
We are again going to march in the Alma Highland Festival Parade this Saturday, May 28 (Memorial Day weekend). While the parade starts at 10:30 and is completed by about 11:30, we would need to be there to line up no later than 10:00. Vicki Chessin is organizing us and getting our parade banner ready, so please contact her ([email protected]) or Norma Bailey ([email protected]) to join us. We would love to have a large contingent of Mt. Pleasant UUs! Download the directions here.
Thanks to everyone who made donations toward the handicrafts from Nepal. You donated $400, that I will be taking to Pushpa Basnet at ECDC/Butterfly Home in July, for extracurricular activities for the children. The handicrafts are available at the RedBloom Yoga and Community Center (in the old Pleasant Graphics building on Michigan Street downtown). The yoga community has donated over $100, so I will be giving Pushpa over $500! That will go a long way in Nepal! Thank you so very much for all of your support. Namaste.
