December 2019

1. If you are interested in designing the Sweden trip shirt, please contact Kim Suhr, if we have a few people interested, we will have a group vote on which design will be on our shirts for Sweden.

2. Anyone wanting to be in the Snowflake Parade on Saturday, December 7th is welcome to! Elaina and Logan, as Lucia and Starboy will be walking with Tami. So, if you’d like to gear up in your LSFD costume meet them in the Bethany Lutheran Church parking lot at 10:30AM, parade starts at 11AM!

3. Reminder: There won't be a sign up sheet for the bake sale for St. Lucia. The proceeds will go to TACOL. If you bring a baked good, please only bring one unit. Please deliver to Rendezvous between 9:40-10:00AM, Saturday morning, December 14th.

4. Coffee sales: Due to unforeseen circumstances, the coffee pickup date has been pushed back to Thursday December 12. Coffee will be available for pickup at Messiah Lutheran Church from 6pm-8pm. MLC is located at 402 N. first street (the one on the south corner of the Bethany College campus, NOT the big white church). Enter through the north side of the building in the furthest east door (you can park in the handicapped spots to load). Go directly upstairs. You can also call or text Jeanne and arrange a different pickup time. Jeanne's cell is 785-212-1846. When you pickup your order, you will need to allow time to check your order for accuracy. Large orders can take upwards of 20 minutes to check.

Thanks so much to everyone for your flexibility! This fundraiser that supports local business is wonderful, and we are thankful it is available to us.
