This year the UCW is celebrating their 50th year! What better way to celebrate than to attend our annual UCW Valentine’s Tea? This year the tea will be held on Saturday, February 11th from 1:30-3:30 at St. John’s in Grand Forks. Admission is $5 and includes tea, coffee, and many tasty treats!
As always, there will be a Bake Sale and used Book Sale upstairs in the sanctuary so you can take home some treats as well.
The event relies on donations of baked goods for the tea and/or bake sale. Baking for the tea should be dropped off at St. John’s on Friday from 9-11am. Baking for the Sale can be brought in on Friday between 9 and 3 or on Saturday from 9-12.

We are hoping to find at least 10 people to make a team for the Relay for Life event in Grand Forks on June 2nd. The event is a great social time to help raise money and awareness for the Canadian Cancer Society. The team will meet closer to the time to organize a schedule for walking and talk about what will happen on the day.
Register by January 31st for $10 or wait until later and register for $20. Please contact the office if you are interested!
