Where: Calvary Church | 150 Harvest Fields Dr. | Boalsburg, PA 16827 

President's Corner

Can you believe it’s time for our annual Lunch with the Legislators Membership Meeting next Wednesday (October 4)? It feels like just yesterday we had our 2022 Lunch with the panel of elected officials and staff members.

 

Calvary Church will provide a complimentary lunch for the meeting. But, as usual, we ask our members to guide the conversation with our legislators by submitting questions prior to the meeting. We’re also working on a way for our audience to ask follow-up questions as well.

 

What do you want to hear from your elected officials? Submit your questions to ccchs2@gmail.com. Just as your elementary school teacher would say – there is no such thing as a stupid question. That’s especially true when your vote is at stake.

Committee Announcements

BEYOND BOUNDARIES

We want to say THANK YOU to all who participated in the Boundary Workshop on Sept. 15. YOU were great! We so appreciated your questions, wisdom, and overall participation.

We learned from you. One of the most exciting (for Evelyn) was your willingness to relinquish your cell phones! WOW! Good for you and we hope you can do that more often. (see photo) We look forward to hearing about your personal plans. Set yourselves free! Don’t forget to breathe (and blow bubbles!) Wish we recorded all your great closing words/phrases. We left on a high note. WE ARE ENOUGH!

Thanks to CCCHS for hosting. See you at our monthly luncheons.

Ever grateful, Evelyn and Jennifer.
