On November 12th, I arrived at around 10:30 am on Saturday morning and there were some girls already working hard.  We cleaned the front entrance, the dining room, the women’s bathroom and the dads cleaned the kitchen.  We had fun even though everything was very dirty.  Especially behind the grandfather clock (it was black with the biggest dust bunny I’ve ever seen).  There were plenty of spiders!  Mom Priscilla let us have a 15 minute break around 11:30 am and then we worked until 2pm.  The music playing helped the time go by faster.

In Rainbow Love and Service,

Every day, in cemeteries all across America, another Veteran is laid to rest. Taps is played and rifle volleys are fired. A flag is gently folded and presented to a grieving family member in recognition and thanks for the Veteran’s service. We want to honor not only those Veterans, but also remember the sacrifice and service of those who no longer have family members who visit their grave sites to remember them and thank them for their service.

We hope that you will join with us to REMEMBER, and thereby HONOR those veterans.

For only $15, you can honor one of those veterans. We hope that you will help, at whatever level you can, to make this campaign successful.

Last Saturday, October 1st, Springfield Assembly, led by WA Hailey, volunteered their weekend to help clean-up a segment of Accotink Creek by Fullerton Road. The clean-up was part of an effort by “Friends of Accotink.” In spite of the rain and high water preventing them from a total clean-up, the girls gathered an amazing array of debris including a shopping cart and bottles. Others present were Sisters Triska and Jeanne as well as Mom Rose, Mom Edna, and Dad Harold.
