Fletchings of Spring last weekend went quite well once again, with great attendance. Discussions are currently open with the Barony of Brendoken to take over this event going forward.
Over 300 cans of food plus many hygiene products were donated for the Loaves & Fishes food pantry here at St. John of the Cross. We received the following thank-you note from the pantry:
Dear Medieval Reenactors,
How generous you are! The donations of canned goods, pasta, and personal hygiene products were so appreciated. We serve folks from the Euclid, Richmond Heights, and Willoughby Hills areas, so you have touched many lives. Thanks again from all of us at the Loaves & Fishes Food Pantry!
We are happy we share the family center with you!
Pat Palermo, Pete & Linda McVay
