October Announcements

Call for greeters! Our greeters group fluctuates over time, but it’s dwindled considerably in the last year. With the Webbers leaving for Florida on Nov. 1, we’ll be short-handed through the winter. We always welcome new greeters! If you feel led to share in this important contribution to the life of the meeting, please let Mike Holaday know (616-975-4192, mikeholaday@att.net).
