Annual Bazaar Will Now Include Vendors By Dayna M. Reidenouer
A number of women, incluing pastor Carlene Wolf, from Washington Boro United Methodist Church (UMC), 1964 Water St., Washington Boro, are known as the congregation’s mission and nurture committee. “ We organize events and fundraisers that support our local and foreign missions and support the church and our local community,” said committee member Lori Gee. “The other thing you can identify these women as is the best cooks in Washington Boro, and I don’t live in Washington Boro,” Wolf said with a laugh. The committee members, along with other members of the church, will focus their talents on preparing
baked goods, soups, and other foods for the church’s annual Christmas bazaar. The event will be held on Saturday, Dec. 1, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and the kitchen will offer breakfast sandwiches, hot dogs, beef barbecue, grilled cheese sandwiches, and freshly fried cinnamon breadsticks.
