WOMEN OF SACRED HEART
CHRISTMAS BRUNCH
written by Jaynane Hardie
December 15th was a chilly and windy day for the WOSH Christmas Brunch, but for the 14 ladies that came and the hostess it was a great time. We all enjoyed cinnamon rolls, breakfast casserole, fruit cups and other goodies as well as hot apple cider at the home of Sandy Schmitt with the food plates for shut-ins, elderly or those who might need an extra boost at Christmas being started late morning. That was followed by more food and fun discussions.
The group put together 24 plates in an assembly line fashion that contained a lot of cookies, candy, raisins, and several kinds of fruit. We were blessed to have an experienced gift basket wrapper again in our midst as well as many helping hands to wrap the plates in red or green cellophane wrap, tie with a curly ribbon and attach a Christmas decoration and card. The plates went to Northridge, Autumn Park, Chariton Nrsg and Rehab, Southgate, Legacy Lodge, and nine homes. The delivery elves were Sandy Schmitt, Alice Herring, Evelyn Pollard, Gloria Lee, Kathy Willets, Diane Beatty, Pat Thompson, Mary Sims, Connie Hoch, and Jaynane Hardie.
The practice of giving food plates and making a visit at Christmas has been a long time tradition of the of Sacred Heart Parish which the ladies are happy to carry on.
Thank you to everyone from the parish that donated money or food for the plates.
