Important Dates:

June 7 & 8th is our scarf weekend, as I like to call it. We wear our scarves and assist at whichever mass we attend. Remember if you are planning to assist, it's best if you're at mass 30 minutes before mass starts and speak to the head usher. If you signed up to lead the Rosary, you should probably be there 40 minutes before mass, so you are ready to go and the sacristan doesn't need to find someone.

June 10th- Wind up social with pins presentation-Potluck, 7pm Come and celebrate those who are achieving milestones and what we have accomplished together.

There was a vote taken at the May meeting whether or not to get it catered or potluck. The vote was for Potluck-so appies and snacks. At first, we were looking at catering and the Old Towne Restaurant worked very hard to provide us with supper at a very decent price. (this was happening in the background so we could give the option of catering or potluck) Since great effort went into this from Old towne, Shannon has put forward an idea. She will purchase a lasagna from Old Towne and those who work or will find it difficult to bring a contribution, can text Shannon to contribute to the cost of the lasagna- $10 per person. A punch will be provided by the CWL.

Over the summer, your executive would like you to give careful discernment for two initiatives;

Executive positions, and the Policy and Procedure manual.

We will also have some hard copies of the Policy and Procedures for people to read in the CWL slot. There will only be 6 copies made, so please read and return them to the CWL slot for the next person to read. If you find something you want to change, perhaps photocopy that page and put your own comments on that page. Or alternatively, make note of the page, what is said and how you'd like it changed and email that to our CWL general email -stpaulscwl@gmail.com, If you write out your comments, please hang onto them until Sept where we can gather all of them.

The CWL at the Diocesan level and above have a policy of being "scent free." In consideration to those who are sensitive to scents we are asking our members to avoid wearing scents during meetings and activities.
