Happy Mother’s Day!
Spring has sprung and Tom Trenney will lead us in what promises to be a spectacular hymn festival this Sunday at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Evanston. This is a free event BUT you will need to reserve your tickets in advance and you can do that here: https://bit.ly/trenney
Following the hymn festival, we will gather nearby at Firehouse Grill for our annual banquet where we will announce the result of our recent election. Thank you to everyone who has RSVPed and voted!
Finally, we have two events on Saturday, May 17:
