It's that time again! Your Social Justice committee is once again collecting School Supplies for the children of the Oscar Mason Library Afterschool Program.  

 

The school year starts August 4th, so we will need to get our collection together by this Sunday, July 26th, because the Oscar Mason Library will be passing out the school supplies on July 30th. We'll designate a table in the Fellowship Hall for your donations.  

 

The majority of the children that attend the OML afterschool program will be attending Morris Elementary school this year, now that the school zones have changed. The general school supplies needed for each child are:

2 Glue Sticks

1 Box of Tissues

1 Backpack

8 Pack of Broad Tip Markers

1 Pack of 12 No. 2 Pencils

1 Pencil Case

2 Wide Ruled Spiral Bound Notebooks

4 Pocket Folders

12 Pencil Crayons

2 Packs of Wide Ruled Loose Leaf Paper

 

For more information, or to deliver your school supplies directly, contact Yuki Lewis, Branch Manager for Oscar Mason Library: ylewis@hmcpl.org  or 256.535.2249.
The OML is at 149 Mason Ct. Huntsville, Al. 35805

 You are invited to attend the Knit Wits next meeting on Thursday, July 30, 6:00. The Knit Wits get together once a month for a relaxed evening to make Care shawls and comfort throws for church members who are facing difficult times, as well as baby sets to welcome new church members. We also recycle plastic bags to make ground-pads/blankets to distribute to Huntsville's homeless. No experience necessary; all skill levels welcome. Contact Barbara Hitt for questions and directions to our meeting location: bghitt1@comcast.net or 256-881-2531. 

   

We had a great property work day at our Broadmor facility this past Saturday. Despite the heat, more than 30 adults and youth participated in maintaining and improving our building and grounds including Jason Aycock, the Betts family, LaDawn Edwards, George Fletcher, Will Garrison, Steve Herold, Barbara & Gary Hitt, Jessica Jackson, John Kincer, Tim Klug, the Korb family, Ben & Micah Lambert, Tim & Theresa Miller, Deedee Moore, the Shepherd family, Paul Wieland, Nick Wilbourn, Ryan Wittig, and Jessica Zelaya. The Property Committee really appreciates all the sweat equity provided by those who voluntarily gave their Saturday morning to UUCH!
