He is all healed up and we are so happy to have him return to the choir. Our sympathies go out to Elaine Arapos- tathis for the loss of her brother. May his memory be eternal. Please support our Dance and Cho- ral School with their See’s Candy Fundraiser. It’s a great way to buy gifts for offices, teachers, family and of course yourself. Nothing like a little chocolate. See the flyer in our monthly and weekly bulletins. The happiest of birthdays goes to our Kay Harkins and Presvytera Diane. May God continue to bless you for many years. Χρόνια Πολλά to Fr. Andrew! May St. Andrew continue to be a bright and shiny light for you. Happy Thanksgiving to all! We have so much to be thankful for.
