The 4 Kolos, Serbian Sisters Circles of Northwest Indiana, invite you to attend the 16th Annual Mothers Against Hunger Humanitarian Banquet. This year's banquet will be hosted by St. George of East Chicago on Sunday, October 5th at 1:00 p.m. The Hall is located at 4021 Elm Street in East Chicago. The entire proceeds from this fund-raiser will benefit the refugees, orphans, sick, and elderly in Serbia and Kosovo. You will hear reports from members of the 4 Kolos who personally deliver the monies. Your generosity will impact the lives of many who are suffering the effects of war and poverty. If for any reason you cannot attend, donations can be given to a Kolo Officer or sent to any church office with the check made to: "Mothers Against Hunger".

The Sunday School teachers have been busy for weeks preparing classrooms, lessons, and supplies for this year's students. They're very well prepared, now that the St. Sava Learning Center is built and furnished. Many fun activities, outings, and parties are planned, as well as an Attendance Challenge. REGISTRATION starts at 9:30 a.m. this Sunday, just outside the Church Office in the North Wing. The fee is $25 for the first child, and an additional $10 per student, per family. Last year was so much fun, just ask the children! This school year will be even better. Serbian School starts at 12:30 for all age groups. Please be sure to stay for the Sunday Luncheon-the children will be able to eat before Serbian School classes start. Parents and Kumovi, remember the importance of bringing your children to Church and Sunday School. It is your responsibility and choice, and our committed teachers donate their valuable time as they welcome your children.

Pre-School Right Start Enrichment Program starts Friday, September 19th. Still plenty of time to sign up, and you can even Register Sunday at Church. Someone will be available to answer any questions about this program at REGISTRATION this Sunday.
