Our New Orleans Association Quilter Emeritus, Cely Pedescleaux is in the Cultural Exchange Show sponsored by the French Patchwork Society and the U.S. Embassy in France. It is traveling through France and will end in Paris in May 2009. There are 20 quilts in the show and 9 are Cely’s and 2 are Soco Ocampo ( in her quilt group). The Patchwork Society is paying her expenses for the Paris closing to participate on a quilting pana. She is so excited. Go to the web site http:/www.quiltmania.com/en/calendrier.php for more information.
Good Going Cely! We are all very proud of you.

While in Dallas at the South Central Conference Annual Meeting, many things were talked about as to how we as churches can better communicate with the tools that we have. Right now most of the NOA churches have newsletters that go out to their congregations on a regular basis. We also have a web site that all or parts of these newsletters could be put on. So, starting on Monday June 9th, I will start putting these newsletters on the web site. I am currently receiving letters from Good Shephard, Salem and Teche. I will also send this posting via snail mail to all the NOA churches. What I am asking is, that in order to get all the churches in the NOA represented, please send me a copy of your newsletter. Copies can be sent to me at: Andrew Gancarcik c/o Little Farms UCC, 135 Sauve Road, River Ridge, La. 70123. If there are items that you put in your Sunday bulletins, send that to me. We have a tool that can be used to help us communicate. Hope to be receiving your information soon.
Andrew Gancarcik-Webmaster, New Orleans Association
