Literacy Fair a Great Success! From Dottie Kilpatrick , ECW President - A big thank you to everyone at St. Francis for making the Back-to-School Literacy Fair such a big success. We had more children come to listen to the authors read their books than I expected for the first time. We also had a huge number of volunteers there to make the authors and the community feel welcome. ______________________________________________ October 8-10 Save the date for Together at Beckwith: The 2010 Fall Conference for Altar Guild and ECW.

Card Crafters - 100 hand made greeting cards were created by the Card Crafters of St. Francis and delivered in May to Covenant Hospice for volunteer visitors to take to patients. The cards bear a "Thinking of You" message and a notation that they are from "Covenant Hospice Volunteers and St. Francis of Assisi Episcopal Church, Gulf Breeze", indicating a true outreach to the community. The group meets from 10 a.m. to noon, the first Wednesday of the month and enjoys working together while fulfilling this outreach mission. There are no requirements for joining the group - just come! Even a one-time participation is worthwhile if you cannot make each session. The only requirement is that you passed kindergarten "Cut and Paste" class. Give it a try, ________________________________
