DESPERATELY Seeking Permanent Coffee Hour Volunteers

We REALLY need five new Coffee Hour volunteers: two to work with Martha
McG. on the fourth Sunday of even months (starting next week, Oct. 26); two
to work with Jill Jacoby on the third Sunday of odd months (starting Nov.
16), and one to work with the Banzigers on the first Sunday of even months
(starting Dec. 7). That’s a three-hour shift just six times per year! If
you can help, please contact Dawn: fuusm.office at gmail.com, call
740-373-1238, or text 812-320-3449.

Don't forget: Collecting for Norwood Thanksgiving!

Please don't forget that we hope to send a big check to Norwood United
Methodist Church to support its Community Thanksgiving Meal. We would like
to have all donations by Nov. 15. Write checks to FUUSM, and write
"Norwood" in the memo line.  Mail checks to FUUSM, 232 Third St., Marietta,
45750, or hand them to Dawn when you see her. We'll also be serving
approximately 40 of those meals to patrons of the Community Resource Center
on Thanksgiving Day, coordinated by Nancy Lee and Shari Ballantyne.
