Nearly thirty members of St. Francis Parish brightened of the lives of residents and volunteer staff
at Emmanuel House, Home for the Elderly, in Ann Arbor, by participating in our "Donate a Day" service project on Saturday, April 18th , 2015,

We worked together on yard work, planting, trimming, raking, and window washing.  We washed down deck furniture, moved garden rocks, raked and bagged the 51 bags of leaves and sticks, prepped and planted 2 raised beds, planted grass, striped the front porch and prepared it for painting, painted the trim around the garage and some windows.

Congratulations and thanks to everyone who so generously gave their time and talents to this great cause.  Special thanks to our Day coordinator & leader Linda Wiseman, and all who participated:   Shelly Chakkaith, Mary Hayden, Crystal Heft, James Jetton, Sofia Jetton, Kathleen Kaveh, Kavoos Kaveh, Chris Kempton, Robert Klingler, Donna Krukowski, Theresa MacLean, Rosemary Markel, David Miller, Teri Murphy, Vania Ng, Brian O'Neil, Jim Raines, Spencer Raines, Radhe Ratih, Bridget Skelly, Joanne Skelly, Benoit Waite, Sara Waite & Waite children, Linda Wiseman & Scott Wright.
