St. David’s Annual Congregational Meeting will be held on February 19, 2017
The motion was passed at the last Official Board meeting that we compile a list of the birthday dates of members and regular attendees to St. David’s. I’ve taken on the task so have begun by using the 1975 Port Hastings Community Club calendar as a beginning.
Please check the list on the table in the entry to see if the date is correct if you were in that calendar and is not, please add you name to the calendar and for you who weren’t married or children hadn’t been born, add spouses and children. Thanks in advance. Yvonne
