email address.

*Mark your calendars! The 2022 FUUSM Plant Sale will take place on 
Saturday, May 21, from 10-2 in the courtyard and along Third Street. *

Of course, a plant sale requires plants, so please think of us while you 
are doing your spring garden cleanup. The offspring of enthusiastic 
plants are welcome, along with garden art, gently used tools, cute 
containers, and the like. If you have plants to donate, please label 
them. And if you can let us know ahead of time what you will be 
bringing, that would be great for publicity. Email Rebecca Phillips 
(bennphil at hotmail.com) with your list, and I will create teaser ads for 
the sale's Facebook page. Plant and garden item donations should be 
dropped off in the church courtyard by 8:00 AM on Friday, May 20, for 
pricing.
