Single Place Calendar: September 2010

Please Note: While Single Place has made every effort to ensure that its Thursday night programs and speakers are the best, the Presbyterian Church and Single Place do not endorse any specific program or speaker. Judgment should be used in following the advice of or having financial dealings with any speaker or program presenter.

Single Place WEATHER CANCELLATION POLICY

If it becomes necessary this winter to close First Presbyterian Church, thus canceling Single Place, we will do our best to announce the cancellation on local radio stations. However, there is no guarantee our closing will be announced. Therefore, it is recommended that you call First Presbyterian Church, 248-349-0911, before leaving home or work. Decisions should be made by 4pm in the afternoon.

Since Pastor Jim's retirement, the Council is now planning all the Single Place Thursday PM and weekend activities. You may notice a few changes. We will be scheduling a cards and games night one Thursday evening each month which may also include a dinner first. We would like to have a list of volunteers we could schedule to help set up the meal, oversee the serving and help clean up afterward. Only with your help can Single Place successfully continue to provide good speakers, entertainment and be a great safe place to meet new friends. Please consider signing your name and phone number on the sheet at Single Place on Thursday PM or call Nancy, 734-459-7235, so we can count on your help to continue this organization. Thank you in advance.
