U.C.W.
UCW -- United Church Women
UCW is the longest serving organization at Mark Street. Meetings are held monthly in Friendship Hall and include tea, coffee and a light lunch followed by a guest speaker from the community. Meetings are held the second Tuesday of the month at 1:00 pm and everyone is welcome; it is not necessary to be a member of the church. We invite you to visit the church website for more details.
Our UCW final meeting before the summer break was held at President Jewell's home. We had a fabulous time at the picnic. We enjoyed a tasty bbq hotdog lunch with potluck salads and desserts. We were fortunate to have sunshine and hot weather. The Bennett trio entertained us again this year with plenty of good old revival hymns along with some popular toe tapping, and get yourself up dancing oldies. Many thanks to Jewell for hosting!!
Enjoy the summer months weather. We will see you on the second Tuesday in September at 1:00pm for our next regular meeting.
This month’s Guest Speaker was Nancy Wiskel, owner of the former Dan Joyce Clothing Store. Her new store is called DJC Modern Apparel at 1525 Chemong Road. She also operates Styleyes Imagine Consulting. Nancy has an exceptional eye for style and a profound appreciation for colour. She helps women present, look and feel their best selves! Nancy demonstrated a colour analysis on one of our members. You can book your own analysis at her store. She showed us some of the latest fashion trends and shared fashion tips. She reminded us that we all want to look and feel our best selves. That doesn't mean we need to get rid of all our current clothing, but we can improve our look with small adjustments. The room was buzzing with the possibilities as well as talk about planning shopping trips to DJC!

Card Party Highlights
A “Big Thank you” from the UCW to everyone who attended our card party on May 5th. It was a great afternoon of socializing while playing cards and indulging in delicious desserts. Some people were lucky at winning door prizes!!
We are pleased to announce this fundraiser event made $660.00!
A huge thank you to Susan from Johnson's Greenhouse for her very informative presentation about perennial gardening at our April UCW meeting. We left the meeting enthusiastic about gardening and really appreciating our gift of pansies giving us hope that Spring is on it's way.
