On August 31, Good Neighbor is holding its Italian Dinner to raise money for Healthy Food Vouchers for needy Story County residents. It has been held at Lucullian’s in the past with the owners generously underwriting the entire meal expenses, thus all the ticket sales went directly to Good Neighbor. This year because Lucullan’s was sold to new owners so we can’t use the restaurant space, but the former owners have hired their former chef to prepare the same meal for us again; it will be held at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Ames at 6:00 for the social; 6:30 for the buffet dinner. You will get a delicious buffet of three entrees, salad, bread, a light dessert and beverage. Ticket price for this dinner is $35 per person and is mostly tax deductible. St. Paul is one of the “founding” members of Good Neighbor more than 16 years ago, and continues to support the agency with Carol Folkmann and Pat Thiede serving on it’s board of directors.Please support us as you wish and are able!! Email or phone Carol (carol.folkmann@gmail.com, 515-450-5819) or Pat Thiede (patsy50010@gmail.com) if you wish to purchase tickets –and/or have questions.Thank you and may God continue to bless you.

The Quilters will meet on Thursday, Aug 14, from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m., with a break for lunch at noon. Bring a sack lunch and join us.
