the narthex.

undercroft at St. John's. Our first goal is responding to the
Episcopal Church Home's need for walker tote bags and we have set our sights on
making50 of these bags. Please bring your rotary cutter, ruler and board if you
have them to help us get started our first meeting. We plan to have
"Tote Bag Kits" available at our Oct. 18th meeting so that if you
can't join us you can make them at home. Any offerings of financial support for
supplies will be welcome, but we are not able to receive any fabric donations. If you are interested
or have questions, please call Pat Murray at 651-699-4061 or Helen Michaels at
