Important items of information:

• ECHOES will be selling gift vouchers for purchase by congregation and public during the Christmas season. These vouchers will be sold in any increment the buyer desires. The voucher will then be given to local community agencies (Emergency Shelter, Salvation Army, etc) for use at ECHOES for people in need.

• Diane Putzer has volunteered to chair the Alternative Gifts Fair slated for the first and second weekends in December.

• Nov. 11 is slated to be the “Fill the Trailer” Food drive at both sites. The fall awareness theme is hunger.

• The congregation received a thank-you card from the family that benefited from our volunteers and Habitat for Humanity from this past summer’s build.
