WHAT'S NEW?
This Week We Received a Letter from a man in Washington D. C. named Frank Nickerson. He was in New York clearing out his mother's home and came across some "memories" his mom had saved. She was a part of the St. Marks community in the 1960's and was married here on Nov 18, 1961. Unfortunately Frank didn't include the name of his parents with his note, but its nice to know some connections can last a life time. Click on the links below for more

Chat and Craft Group: If you are 14 or older, please join us from 7-9 in the loft. This is an informal fellowship that meets on the third Monday of the month. We'll be starting out with enjoying each other's company, but our long term goal is to see if we can develop crafting into something that could support one of our charities, be sold at our events, or simply enjoyed by the group. Bring your crafts & ideas and we'll see you there! Questions?
