New members to Locust Grove are Richard

The Life
& Nurture Commission is putting together a kitchen committee for the
upcoming year. If you are interested, please reach out to a member of the
commission (see member list below). Kitchen Committee does take some effort and
availability, so ideally, we are looking for a couple different volunteer
types. One would be a larger commitment of being more of a leader/coordinator
in the role. The other would be more of a "willing helper, " who may
not have flexible availability but is willing to be on a list for the coordinator(s)
to call on from time to time as the need arises. Our intention is that
"many hands make light work." Thank you! The Life and Nurture Commission - Darin
King, Beth Miller, Leroy Hochstetler, Louellen Westover
