Garage Sale a Huge Success
Submitted by sara on Tue, 2010-05-25 05:47Thank you to all the volunteers and donors and shoppers that made the
Garage Sale such a great success. We raised close to $700.00. A
fantastic total. The best story of the three days was when a limo pulled
up. Dropped off several people. The people were on a scavenger hunt. We
didn't have a bird cage or a shot glass from Mexico. So as the limo sat
on Lyndale Ave. The people went back to garage sale partying.

Richfield Borders Gift Wrapping
Submitted by sara on Fri, 2009-11-20 09:24It's that time of the year I live at Borders in Richfield or at least it seems like I do. I have great fun meeting people and wrapping packages. Books are easy to wrap. I don't want to keep all the fun to myself. Join me and other dedicated volunteers to raise money for Angel's Wings. This last year has been great for the program. Our small program is growing. We have been at Loaves and Fishes in Bloomington through out the year handing out bus passes. They have a raffle at that location. We have added Zoom House. Our Sister of Charity gets some passes for the families they help.

Vision Team
Submitted by sara on Sun, 2007-02-04 14:32Last Tuesday the Work and Worship Vision Team met to discuss the vision of the Institute. It meets once a quarter to try to grasp the big picture rather than getting bogged down in the details. We discussed what are topics that the Institute should be attempting to engage people in conversation about. What issues need to be raised in the business community by the faith community. Some ideas are:
1. The disparity between Executive Compensation and the average worker compensation.
