March Newsletter www.holliswomansclub.org There is a lot of business to attend to at the March meeting. Thanks to everyone who worked on committees and will be presenting to the membership. Paula Fortier from Hummingbird Therapeutics will be a nice change of pace after all of the official business. Pastoral care is our monthly charity and we’ll collect personal care items for females in the 18-35 age. The agency gives each client a small basket with needed items to get them started since most arrive with only what they are wearing. Thank you all for your generosity. UPCOMING YARD SALE We are in need of a few more volunteers to help set up and price our items on Friday evening and to help with sales on Sat. and clean-up at the close. Contact Jeanne Cleveland at 465-2097 if you can help. If you have non clothing treasures to donate for our April 17th yard sale at the Lawrence Barn, PLEASE bring them Friday night between 6-8 pm when we set up. If you aren’t able to donate, please come and shop on Saturday 4/17 from 8-12 noon. We have 23 tables of treasures to browse from including our own HWC area. Mark your calendar, help spread the word and I hope to see you there! STRAWBERRY FESTIVAL There is a lot of preliminary work going into the Strawberry Festival to be held on Sunday, June 27th from 2 to 4 p.m. Letters of solicitation for donations are out, permits applied for and invitations to a small group of artists are ready to be mailed. Now all we need is for you to choose committees on which to help. We need one person to help the chairmen for supplies and for clean-up. The supplies committee assists the Steward in purchasing any items needed for the festival with the exception of the strawberries, ice cream and heavy cream. In addition they and the Steward make sure that all items stored in the shed storage area are delivered to the Church prior to hulling and the Festival and for helping to return the items to the shed after the Festival. The clean-up chair is just that. She directs the cleaning up of specifically the church hall and kitchen during the festival and makes sure the church is left clean at the end of the festival. Areas needing volunteers are: hulling on Fri., June 25th needs in excess of 30 volunteers. The more the merrier. Outside workers need at least 40 volunteers. These workers are under the tent serving up the food, scooping ice cream or calling out the orders to the servers. Keep in mind that we love to see our high school youth and they can help under the tent and especially as the runners between the kitchen and the tent. We will need 6 cashiers and 5 or 6 heavy cream whippers. The inside workers are in the Church cutting up the shortcakes and putting them in their bowls. This area needs 15-18 workers. It’s an ideal place for anyone who prefers to be indoors. If you have any questions about these areas, please contact Krissy
