In December our Annual Christmas Party is scheduled where we invite all our widow ladies whose husbands were regular members of the LMM as our guests for a joyful evening. Service projects include assisting members with various chores including yard work and repairs and making general repairs to the church and assisting with maintaining the Memorial Garden.
