If someone should die without anointing, remember that the desire to receive is sufficient.

July 10-12Marriage Encounter Weekend. At the Santa
Teresita Villa in Duarte. Give yourself the gift of a special
weekend to make your good marriage even better.
Thank you to the helpers who gave their time and talents to help with this event. Our guest speaker, Alena Lezano from
the Sierra Madre Police Department, spoke to us of neighborhood safety, awareness of scams via phone or the
internet, and other safety-related issues. Our guests enjoyed salad from Stonefire Grill followed by a decadent dessert,
recipe courtesy of Marilyn McKernan. There were many raffle prizes and four door prizes as well as a chance to win the
table decorations of potted succulents. Thanks to Marilyn McKernan for organizing this annual event and for all the
work by so many to make it a success. It was a great afternoon of fellowship and fun!
