| Brethren: I hope your summer is going well. As we are still dark in August, September 3 will soon be here. As there are a couple events I learned that can help support our Job Daughters, I want to pass them along. The first is a fundraiser the Bethel 76 Job Daughters are doing. For those of you who not aware, Bethel 76 is there to help us whenever we call them to help us at Montgomery. Its only fair that we help return the favor and help them! Please see attached flyer for more info. The Second fundraiser if for the Minnesota Job Daughters Foundation of Minnesota, which is a non-profit organization supporting the educational, leadership, and developmental activities of members of Minnesota Job's Daughters. If you like heading to a Twins game, a portion from the ticket sales by using the below link. I also have included an event flyer. |
