This is the power of gathering: it inspires us, delightfully, to be more hopeful, more joyful, more thoughtful:  in a word, more alive. ~ Alice Waters~
 
Mark your calendars, Fall Fellowship is this weekend.  On Sunday, October 18, we will be gathering from 5-7pm at the WW Knight Nature Preserve for an evening of fellowship and fun.  Alison Frye and the Fellowship Committee have done an amazing job planning for this event!
 
There will be a family style pot luck, wine sampling with Halloween candy and a shelter box set up for all to see.  Bring your own .beverages and a dish to share (paper products will be provided).  Please be sure to register here or contact Alison Frye.  
 
 
 
 
Last week, in honor of Fire Prevention Week 2015, we had Perrysburg Fire Chief Jeff Klein as our guest speaker.  Chief Klein provided us a wealth of knowledge regarding smoke detectors and fire safety statistics.  He reiterated the importance of having working smoke alarms in your home.  Most smoke alarms are over 4 years old, with some being as old as 10+ years old.  To learn more about fire safety statistics click here.  
 
 
THIS WEEK'S PROGRAM (October 16, 2015):
Our guest speaker for this week will be Brian Kennedy, Director of the Toledo Museum of Art.
