Remembering 9-11 Service at First Alliance Church
We all remember where we were on 9/11 — 25 years ago. Join us on Friday September 11th as we invite our community to a short service of remembrance and prayer from 8:40 am – 9:15 am at First Alliance Church, 4400 Buffaloe Road. We will meet outside so bring a lawn chair if you wish, and children are welcome. For details contact Carolann Stone 847-644-4864. Those who lost their lives that day, whether victims or heroes saving others, will be forever in our hearts.

Learn to Dance! Thursday, Sept. 24 at 6:30pm
Come learn ballroom dance and more! No skills necessary. Couples needed; singles also welcome. Meet in the Education Building of First Alliance Church (4400 Buffaloe Road) on Thursday September 24th from 6:30 – 8:00 pm for an informal session of fun led by John and Connie Murphy, experienced dance instructors who have volunteered their time for anyone who wants to learn. This is the second year the Murphy’s have shared their expertise, and last year was lots of fun!
Connie says, “I started taking ballroom dance classes when I was 12 years old, and I taught several classes for Johnson County Parks & Rec in the late 80’s, but continuously since 2002. So, for over 20 years! “
For more information contact Megan Murphy: 913-710-4414
Story Weavers Writing Club – Open to All
The Story Weavers Writing Club meets one Saturday a month at the Bridge Café – from 1:00 – 3:00 pm. All are welcome! We want to encourage each other in whatever form of writing we each are excited about: children’s books, novels, articles, poetry, blogs, dramatic stories, and more. This is a fun, relaxed gathering that meets every other Saturday. For more information contact Lillian Ferrarini at 919-744-5201 or Virginia Espina-Laboy at 786-417-5565.

Food Pantry in the parking lot of the Bridge Café
Did you know about the Community Food Pantry at 4400 Buffaloe Road? (in parking lot of First Alliance Church). It was started by neighborhood residents Allison & Brandon DeLucca with the help of Dan Rothra, Kent Hoffman and Nora Hoffman (all in the photo) as a service to our neighborhood.
The Pantry is open 24/7 with the motto “Take What You Need – Leave What You Can.” It operates solely on the generosity of the Buffaloe Road community and First Alliance Church.
If you wish to donate non-perishable food or small toiletry items, you can leave them inside the pantry cupboard – or deliver to the Bridge Café (entrance to First Alliance Church) Thursday (8:30 – 11:30 a.m.) or Sunday (10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.)
