BEL-HEIGHTS CHALLENGE
During 2008 ECA had a slogan contest with the winning slogan, “Hands to Work, Hearts to Serve” being submitted by Margo Englehart. ECA voted to purchase 20 aprons that would have the ECA logo and slogan on them - a great marketing tool. Since the apron cost is higher than anticipated, Bel-Heights has donated $100 toward the cost and has challenged all other clubs to donate $25 or more to this project. Let’s all show our support for ECA and meet the challenge - make your club’s donation in MAY.
COUNTY COUNCIL PRESIDENT
Shirley Ferguson, our County Council President, is doing better and is now at home and receiving therapy several times a week. She sends her thanks and appreciation to everyone for the beautiful cards, flowers, thoughts and prayers. She misses and loves you all. Shirley will be back as soon as possible.
