Many thanks to Jan Baker for an emotional- yet hopeful presentation on the Cunningham Children's Home. We look forward to seeing the facilities in person soon and will discuss some future projects to benefit their essential programs.
* Please comment below if you plan to join in on Ruth Circle's visit to Urbana during the CCH's Festival of Quilts on Saturday, April 4th. Also, if you are willing to carpool and/or have a restaurant recommendation for dinner! We will meet in our church parking lot and leave no later than 2:30pm. At 4pm we will get a tour of the grounds by Stephanie Lynge, the Church & Community Relations Specialist. www.cunninghamhome.org
Thanks also to Karen for hostessing the meeting and for the quick and easy Easter basket assembly for donation to the children at the Home Sweet Home Mission. (and thanks to Michelle for storing them until we deliver them!)
Our April Ruth meeting is on Monday, the 20th at 7pm in the lounge. Julie is hostessing and is planning a program with an Earth Day theme!
Also that week, on Wednesday April 22nd at 7pm, the UMW unit meeting is hosting a book talk including the book "The Last Lecture." This books is available at the church library and is also circulating throughout our group if you're interested in reading it, just ask!
The May kitchen cleanup has been scheduled for Friday, May 8th- the Friday before Mother's Day, so it should be a good start to a great weekend! We will meet to clean the kitchen at 5:30- or whenever you can get there- and then we'll go out for a fun dinner! (We'll discuss where at the April meeting)
Happy Spring, Ruth Circle!

Just let me know, Claire and Karen, when you want to go to Home Sweet Home and drop off the baskets.
I am in for Saturday April 4th to Champaign. I can drive and fit 3 or so in my car with me.
I grew up in Champaign so am full of ideas for eating out. Just depends on what type of food we are interested in. I can put a list of a few ideas together and post here later.
Michelle
