PRAY THE ROSARY FREQUENTLY!

"Say the Rosary every day . . . Pray, pray a lot and offer sacrifices for sinners . . . I'm Our Lady of the Rosary. Only I will be able to help you. . . . In the end My Immaculate Heart will triumph."
~~Our Lady at Fatima

CAN TABS

Please continue to save can tabs. They will be collected at each meeting and brought to Past President Pat Keegan's house to be stored for convention. We did an excellent job last year and want to do better for the 2018 convention in June. Remember that these tabs are given to the Ronald McDonald House Program to help support accommodations for family members whose children are in the hospital. A Ronald McDonald House is that “home-away-from-home” for families so they can stay close by their hospitalized child at little or no cost.

THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR DONATIONS!
