12/5 First Friday Club of Akron: “What the heck is a Parish Life Coordinator?” Our own Deacon Will Yoho will be guest speaker at
this luncheon.  Join us as he answers his own question, “What the heck is a Parish Life Coordinator (PLC)?” — the only question he had when he was asked by the Bishop to become PLC to Mother of Sorrows.  We will need to reserve a table (or hopefully multiple tables) for MOS parishioners to sit together. If you are interested, cost for lunch and talk is $25 and is payable at the door. Doors open at 11 AM, lunch is served at 11:30, and everything winds up at 1 PM. Please let Carol know (carolk4mos@gmail.com) by November 26 if you would like to reserve a seat. We will reserve as many tables as necessary, but need 8 people in order to reserve each full table.  If you reserve and must later cancel, please find a replacement for yourself. First Friday Club luncheons are held at Our Lady of Cedars,
507 South Cleveland Massillon Road, Fairlawn, OH 44333 [posted 11/18-12/05]
