By Eudora Roseman
UMW Treasurer
Each year the Grandview Unit of United Methodist
Women makes a pledge indicating the amount we
intend to forward in support of the women and
children programs run by the Women's Division of
the Board of Global Missions. Our pledge this year
is $5000. So far we have forwarded the first two
quarters of this amount. This money has been
raised through fundraisers and individual member
gifts to the pledge. This amount cannot be drawn
from specified gifts we receive such as our Thank
Offering coming in November. If you feel a
commitment to programs supporting women,
children and youth in such areas as employment,
justice, micro loans, health, nutrition, education
and others, please consider making a personal
pledge, joining the women of the church in meeting
or exceeding our yearly pledge. Pledge envelopes
are available on the Fair Trade Coffee Table in the
Gathering Room. (Please make checks payable to
Grandview United Methodist Women.)

UMW Annual Celebration: The annual
celebration for the now combined Northwest and
Southwest Districts of UMW will be held on
Saturday, September 23, from 8:45am-1pm at Lititz
United Methodist Church located at 201 East
Market St. The morning includes
registration/refreshments, a business meeting, a
program, and lunch and unit sharing. The fee is
$10. Flyers are available at the Hub. Reservations
are due by Saturday, September 9.
Save the Date - Bow Making Session: Mark your
calendars for Monday, November 13 at 6:30pm.
Nancy Suter will demonstrate and teach the art of
bow making. Cost will be minimal and participants
will go home with a beautiful Christmas bow ready
to be hung on ASP wreaths. Look for a sign-up
sheet coming to the Hub in October.
Boehm's Chapel Apple Festival: Boehm's annual
Apple Festival will be held Saturday, October 7,
9am-3pm, rain or shine, on the grounds of Boehm's
United Methodist Church, Willow Street. The
Apple Festival is a yearly event to benefit Boehm's
Chapel. Grandview's role in the success of the
festival over the past years has been a huge
one. Grandview's apple bread is very popular and
the first product to sell out. Breads can be delivered
to the church on Friday, October 6 before 2pm, to
Anne Zell's home (822 Janet Avenue), or brought
to the festival on Saturday morning no later then
9am. The Apple Festival is a fun family event and
Grandview members are encouraged to attend as
well as bake. Vendors will be selling handcrafted
items, and the food tent will offer luncheon fare
and apple goods of all kinds. Pick up a flyer at the
Hub for more information, directions to Boehm's
Chapel, and a recipe for the famous apple bread!
