Folks woke up to ice-coated windshields in Clarksville on October 18.
St. Timothy's, Clarksville, ECW, led by Jean Crowe, ECW President,
welcomed women who traveled across the diocese to the ECW Fall Annual
Meeting that morning, with fresh-baked donuts and hot coffee.
The principal business at ECW Fall Annual Meetings is the
installation of new board members. During the Celebration of Holy
Eucharist, the Very Reverend Dr. Susan Grimm, Rector, St. Timothy's,
Clarksville, installed the ECW board members: Kathy Haney, Recording Secretary, Christ Church, Danville; Andrea
Morgan, Prayer/Worship Chair, Trinity, Portsmouth; Louise Boss, Second
Vice President, Christ Church, Eastville/Bridgetown and Deborah Austin,
Church Periodical Club Director, St. Mark's, Suffolk. They will serve a
two-year term beginning in January 2016.
Megan-Drew Tiller, Church Relations, the Boys Home of
Virginia, and Tod Balsbaugh, Vice President of Advancement,
Jackson-Feild Homes attended the meeting and received contributions from
parishes for God Bless the Children: ECW's 2015-16 Outreach Project. At lunch Molly Kratt, a member of St. Timothy's, shared Seven Stylish Tips for Tying Your Scarf.
ECW dues, $3 per member, are due November 1. Technically, all
Episcopal Church Women, are members of ECW. Two dollars ($2) fund
donations given to recipients in the diocese, nation and the world
through the ECW Diocesan Budget. Imagine what sizable donations those
would be, if every women in diocese gave $3. For information about
recipients go to the ECW page at www.diosova.org.
