MAKE WASTE WATCHERS ONE OF YOUR NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS Join us Friday, January 6th for a potluck supper at 6:30 pm, followed by discussion centering around social justice and environmental/simple living issues. FINANCIAL NOTES At the end of November, we find ourselves about $1,500 “in the red” in our 2005 general fund despite our best efforts to keep expenses to a minimum. We really need to end the year with a balanced budget. If there is any way you can “dig a little deeper” and help us make up that deficit, we’d really appreciate it! ’TIS THE SEASON – GIVING OPPORTUNITIES AT RBCC Christmas Family-Giving Tree |
