Landscaping Day 2012: Coldie, but a Goodie!
Monday, April 30th, 2012
Women of Stewart Cooperative – both young and older – joined forces to once again carry out the annual Landscaping Day at the house. The girls remained flexible due to inclement weather. Early morning rains and colder temperatures called for a change in original plans. The Board of Directors (BOD) met Saturday morning on April 28th and the landscaping was moved to the afternoon. After completing the BOD meeting, we had lunch as a group.
Liz (Felix) Yost (PC’98), Stewart BOD Nutritional Chair, organized a yummy lunch of Jimmy John sandwiches, chips, brownies and drinks. Everyone enjoyed a time of fellowship and House Advisor, Sharon Winslow, shared a letter with everyone and reminded us to be mindful of the Lord’s guiding because we really don’t know the depth of use God will get out of that act of obedience.
BOD Maintenance Chairs Amanda Padgett and Dawn Johnson led the afternoon activities of weeding the landscaping beds, trimming trees and shrubs, relocating some day lilies as well as planting some new bushes and flowers and finally mulching the beds. Everyone worked hard despite the cooler temperatures.
The house was left looking better than we found it and fellowship was abundant!! Make a mental note to join us next year as we continue this annual activity of not just working, but enjoying each other’s fellowship — STEWART STYLE!

As you all know, the PAL (Praying Alumni Ladies) Program is a prayer program where we pair up one alumni with one in-coming Stewart pledge. This year we have 16 pledges, so we need lots of lovely alumni (LIKE YOU!!!) to volunteer to be a PAL. Please check out the PAL Program page on our Stewart blog 
Have a wonderful end of your week! Please spread the word of the PAL program to our other wonderful alumni and encourage your sisters to be involved!! 
Please begin praying for these ladies as they prepare to lead their sisters this coming Fall!
