Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a good weekend. We want to send a big thank you to the Whites and Johnsons for hosting our girls/guys night March social. Girls if you missed the scrapbook get together you are welcome to make your scrapbook page and bring it up to class. We are going to be hanging the pages up on the wall in our room. Also be thinking of your favorite bible quotes. I am planning on doing a bulletin board with our favorite bible quotes. Happy Birthday to Jason Lax Sunday April 3rd! Happy Birthday to Jarod Monday April 4th! Joy & Concerns: A high school classmate of Erin's died after suffering a massive heartattack. Please keep Howie Long and his family in your prayers. Jason Lax's cousin is lymphoma free and 50 days have passed of her 100 day observation period. Victor and Angie's nephew became a father this week. He is very young and they are hoping he has the maturity to deal his new found responsibilites. Ashlea's friend is being induced with her first baby this week. There is a small chance the baby may have a potential health problem with it's stomach. Our best wishes for a safe delivery and a healthy baby. Have a great week, Julie

Treasurer's Update

Hi! I hope that everyone is having a great week. I am slacking in my treasury updates which I apologize for. Without further delay:

Previous Balance (as of 1/3/11) $2,050.49

Deposits (since 1/3) 403.00

Balance 3/3/11 $2,453.49

Paid in Full Update to be paid 10/2011:

In January we had $779 towards our $1500 to be paid in October 2011, to that we will add one half of the deposits above or $202 making our paid in full balance accumulated of $981! That leaves us with about $1,500 to do other missions and things for the time being but if we don't make it to the $1500 through contributions over the next 6 months we will have to take the remainder from the treasury which we need to do other missions and things. Please stay mindful of this as we need to stay committed to what we put on our card last year as well as continue to do other missions and things in the community. Remember you can write checks if you don't have any cash on Sundays! We have been able to do some great missions over the past few years and I think there is even more that we can do as well as perhaps use a little money towards some of our socials. Keep up the good work! Checks will be deposited this week for those of you who have written them.

Have a great week!

Ashlea
