Help is needed from you: A Gourmet Pasta Luncheon
will be served at in the gymnasium of St. Matthew's Lutheran in Benton Harbor on Sunday,
March 3, 2013 from 1 - 3 PM. This is a fundraiser to benefit the Family of Jennifer Sicurello; Ron & Diane Clark, and Josh Sicurello (members of St. Matthew's Lutheran)
WHY?
Last year Jennifer was diagnosed with kidney desease and she is in need of a kidney transplant. Her step-father, Ron Clark, is a perfect match. He is donating one of his kidneys. Recovery time for donor and recipient will be two to three months, during which time they will not be able to work, and Diane will be off from work so she can look after the two of them. The proceeds from the fund raiser will be used to help with the family's expenses following transplant surgery.
(suggested donation: $10.00 per plate)
Please join us, or you may send donations to:
St. Matthews Lutheran Church
671 McAllister Ave
Benton Harbor, MI 49022

HOST FAMILIES NEEDED
Michigan Lutheran High School has been blessed the last few years to be a part of International programs that place foreign students in our care. MLHS has recently received approval to accept students who are here on an F1 visa to study full-time in the United States. Because of this amazing opportunity, MLHS will be hosting a number of international students next year. In order to do so, ML families must generously open their homes to these very special visitors. Several options will be available to host families in the coming school year. If you would like to open your home, or if you would like to learn more about this exciting experience, please contact either Mrs. Sievert in the front ML Office, or Mrs. Plocher, International Advisor. Our international students add much to our campus family. Please consider becoming a part of this unique opportunity. | |
