INSPIRING TIME AT SIGHT AND SOUND
Many of our members, friends, and supporters were in Pennsylvania at the Sight and Sound Theatre for the showing of the Biblical story Jonah. We have become accustomed to the amazing and professional performances associated with the Theatre.
This time, September 16, was no different. The experience was as inspiring as always, and from all accounts was thoroughly enjoyed by all. We want to again express our sincere thanks to our friends and supporters for their continued support and to our dedicated members for making this trip a reality.
Our Association is currently soliciting items of clothing, un – perishable foods, medical equipment and adult pampers for our Infirmary project in Jamaica.
