Our current project benefits Holy Family School on Chicago's West Side. Through Holy Family's "Adventures in Learning Summer Camp," children take swimming lessons twice a week at a park district pool next door. The goal is to collect 80 swimsuits. At last count we needed 50 more! The last day to bring your donation is May 26th.  We need girls' one-piece suits and boys trunks in small medium and large.

Everyone living in the inner city during a Chicago summer should have a swimsuit! Please pick up an extra one when you go shopping for your swim suits this year. When you drop off your suit in the church lobby, put your name on the appropriate sheet so that we know what is still needed.

The daffodils are already in bloom, so it's time to clean-up the flower beds.

Whether you have a green thumb or don't know a weed from a tender hosta budding leaf there is something that you can do to help. We gather at the front of the church at 9am and end at noon. Come for all of the time, or just a portion. If you have garden gloves, clippers and a rake it can help, but there will be extras available.
