1. MOTHER DAUGHTER BANQUET
“Putting on the Glitz”
Saturday, May 4th- 5pm
Adults $15.00 / Children ages 5-12: $8.00. Children under 5 are free.
This event is open to all women. We will step back in time to
the roaring 20's with a presentation by Flora the Flapper, who
will share stories of Chicago from those frivolous times.
The evening begins at 5 p.m. with a basket auction, Charleston dance lessons, silent movies, and refreshments. Then head to the Speak Easy
to give a secret password to be admitted to a fabulous banquet served by attentive and handsome waiters.
This year's menu will include a swanky salad, exotic beef bourguignon and dessert tables filled with sweets of your choice. We will try our best to meet dietary restrictions if you let us know in advance. After dinner, everyone will gather for final bids and then enjoy a program that is truly the bee’s knees.
2. CLOTHING DRIVE -This year Bethany’s Mission Team is collecting for the clothing drive. It’s time to start clearing closets! Tell your friends, neighbors, and family members, too! You may start dropping off items the week of May 13th during normal church office hours (Tues-Fri 9am-12pm) or contact Jacquee Lawrence 630.828.4222 to meet you at church for drop-off outside of office hours. Place your bagged items in the nursery area. Money raised will go to the Missions Team for future projects.
Thank you, from the Bethany Mission Team!
