A Community Festival for Heifer International Supporters

Churches of the Illinois/Wisconsin District are invited to attend the Heifer Hoedown - a Heifer International community festival to be held at the DuPage County Fairgrounds on September 23, 2006. Click the link to download a flyer with all the details.

Heifer has recently celebrated the phenomenal growth of its first 60 years, and the Midwest Region of Heifer has been an integral part of that growth. The Church of the Brethren is also justified to have a special pride for its role in giving birth to this program that is making a dramatic difference in the lives of millions of families in the United States and throughout the world.

So it is time to celebrate! At this first-time event in the western Chicago suburbs we will

• Celebrate the accomplishments and generosity of those that make this critical work possible
  
• Encourage mutual support of all involved in that work
  
• Eat, play, dance and be merry

The regional Churches of the Brethren are planning to have a visible presence at the Heifer Hoedown. In addition to inviting your attendance, the coordinating committee is seeking volunteers to help with the setup, , games, food service, and other activities at this event. If you can help, contact Loren or Twila Habegger by September 1 at habegger4@comcast.net, or 630-852-7515.
