If the church is locked just call Barb at , and she will let you in. The profits this year will go towards Pens for Hens a non-profit organization which was created locally by Gordie Gasch, a former Ag teacher in Brillion. Gordie with a group of volunteers went to Haiti to begin the Pens for Hens project. One way is to teach people in poor areas to produce their own food. It provides supplies and teaches the Haitians how to care for laying hens and to add protein to their diets through eggs. Along with the rummage sale we will also have a brat fry and bake sale. We will be looking for volunteers to grill and sell the hamburgers and brats, donate treats for the bake sale and help throughout the rummage sale. MAY BULLETINS were donated by Irma Fischer in thanksgiving for all of God s blessings.
