A Note from Linnie
A sincere thank you from Mohawk Opportunities and myself for your donations of items that remained from our Wretched Excess Party on January 19th to the agency's community table for homeless, domestic violence and mentally ill clients. The clients were so thankful to see the table full of useful clothes and items.
****The Mad Hatter's Tea that was scheduled for February 10th has been cancelled.
Pat is having major heating and plumbing problems at her home. She plans to reschedule the tea later in the Spring.
