SWEET TREATS:
Greetings from the DuBois Fall Festival which will be held on October 4! We are very excited to be hosting The Sweet Shop again this year. We’d greatly appreciate all donations of desserts, snacks, breads, cookies, trail mix, etc. from your congregation. All proceeds will go to DuBois Camp Scholarships.
The Sweet Shop will be in Oak Lodge, which might be a bit of a trek for some people who are dropping off their goodies. So, we will have a drop-off location close to the entrance of the center. If you have any questions, please text Joyce Kniepkamp at 618-567-6276
Thank you for all your help.
