Silver Cross Circle met March 17 at First United Methodist Church with 16 members and one guest present.

Hostesses were Jo Vernon, Helen Lorenzen and Donna Snyder.
A food distribution program has existed since the 1970s at First Methodist and is presently under the
direction of Bob Segna and his wife, Connie. Segna showed a video explaining the process. This church
mission provides food – mostly staples – once a month for those in need. Segnas, along with other church
volunteers, go to the two food banks in Toledo to get food to distribute. Between $250-$500 per month is
needed in order to prepare the 220 bags of food.
Maxine Hagemeyer gave devotions regarding St. Patrick.
Emmy Hann, president, presided at the business meeting. The nominating committee is lining up new
officers for the coming year.
It was decided to ask a speaker from Bittersweet Farms in Whitehouse to come to the May meeting instead
of going there and traversing their campus. Bobbie Lane will check into having dinner locally.

and Joyce Stearns met with United Way officials in Bowling Green on March 21.
The spring conference will be held in Bucyrus on April 26 and members are encouraged to attend. It was

The next meeting will be April 21, with Kathy Mullin from the Cocoon Shelter as guest speaker. Members
