CALLING ALL OLD WEST END BAKERS & COOKS!

WOWE produced a OWE Cookbook many years ago and thought it was time to publish one again with your help.

The Old West End has many great cooks! We need your help to share your recipes for the Old West End Cooks Cookbook! Please think about your favorite recipes for Festival, holidays, potlucks and gathering of friends. We will feature people, places and comments for this cookbook.

Please send your recipes to:
Carol Kutsche: cjkutsche@bex.net
or Toni Moore: tmoore_etc@hotmail.com

Come on foodies, I know you are out there!

COMMONS PARK
May Workday scheduled:
Saturday, May 9th and the Big Planting day May 23rd

If you are able and willing to help, meet at the Commons 9:00am until 12:00n. With the Virus still present we will follow the guideline of 6’ apart with hand sanitizers. Breakfast will be served that will be appropriate given our recent state of affairs.

FOR THE MAY 23rd DAY OF PLANTING 30+ FLATS, THE DAY COULD BE A LITTLE LONGER.

It is with much gratitude that we say a huge Thank You to all who came down to the Commons Park on their own and also those who showed up on our first workday (keeping social distancing of course). Thank you to Carol Kutsche, Brian Miller and Mike McMahon who, on their own, spent time clearing the flower bed of leaves. And also for our first workday, thank you and a virtual hug to Andrew Larsen, Carol Kutsche, Shirley Johnson, Pastor Chris Hanley, Mary Sawers, Ken Schumaker Toni & Dave Moore & Mike McMahon.

Suggestion If you and/or your family are taking walks in the neighborhood consider picking up any debris you might find on your walk even if it’s through one of our Parks. Stay safe . . . if you have one of those metal picker-uppers great! If not wear rubber gloves. 

Commons Park Workday:
Saturday, July 13th, 9:00am

Your support is truly appreciated. Breakfast served to all who volunteer. Join us even if you have only an hour to spare. Questions? Call Toni Moore: 419-360-2151
