raise a little over $3,200 for youth programming at PYW!
Special thanks to Dell-Lea Country Club for use of the hall, DJ Mark
Minasalli for playing some great music, and of course extra
gratitude goes to our corporate sponsors for the evening – Vintage

Darrah Enterprises, Northeast Delta Dental, Globe Manufacturing,
Graylag Cabins, Konopka Floor Sanding, Leap Year Marketing, The
Mellen Company, Dominick’s Pizza Pasta and Things, Direct Flow

Dorcas Guild
May 2012
The Dorcas Guild of the First Congregational Church of Pittsfield
met May 8th in the church vestry with 11 members attending. Nella
Hobson opened the meeting and Mary Jo Powelson led the devotions
including scripture and a commentary by Billy Graham.
The secretary gave her report of the previous meeting, read
correspondence and circulated several cards for signing, two for
graduating high school seniors. The treasurer gave her financial
statement.
Elsie brought the food basket, which went to Carolyn Davis. In
September it will go to Elaine, who will bring it in October. Nancy
Fogg brought the apron, which will go to Evelyn Richard, who will
turn it in to Reny Boyd until the fall. The mystery package, brought
in by Nancy Fogg, was won by Peggy Jacobs, who will bring it in
September.
The ongoing service project was mentioned and continues to collect
household items for the needy. It was announced the defibrillator
has arrived and will be installed on May 9th. The instructions and
practice for use will be given by the Pittsfield Fire Department.
A donation was made to cover the remaining costs to send two
representatives to the National Conference in June. It was voted to
purchase material for a new purple curtain which hangs in front of
the organ during the Lenten season. Final plans were made for the
June banquet and orders taken for meal choices. Children’s Day was
discussed and the Dorcas Guild will help the Christian Education
Committee with setting up and serving the Pot Luck Dinner on May
20th. The Guild will also help supply and serve refreshments at
intermission for the Patriotic Concert on June 8th.
Corine Miller and Mary Jo Powelson served tasty refreshments
including luscious fresh fruit. Following refreshments, the group
enjoyed flower arranging with members using a great array of fresh
flowers to fill vases each person had brought in.
The next meeting will be June 12th – the banquet at Jitters. No more
meetings until September 11.

Willy, know by his Florida friends as "Mr. Fix-it", could repair
most anything that was broken. He was of the Christian faith.
Mr. Lane is survived by his wife of 50 years, Kathy.
A service to celebrate Mr. Lane’s life was held Saturday, February
