HURRICANE HARVEY RELIEF
St. Alban’s is collecting a special offering
for Hurricane Harvey Relief and
Response. Besides making an offering for this
quarter's Outreach organization, Washington
Kids in Transition or the Food Bank, please
make a special offering to assist and comfort
those millions on the Gulf Coast affected by
the ongoing inundation of Hurricane Harvey.
Episcopal Relief and Development, our
denomination's disaster response ministry, is
organized to address the physical, emotional,
and spiritual needs of those affected by the
storm. The Salvation Army is also doing good
work there.
Please designate “Special Donation” on
your check, and we will send a donation from
the church. We will split the donations we
receive between Episcopal Relief and Devel-
opment and The Salvation Army. Donations
will be collected through September.
If you prefer to donate directly, addresses
are below:

DRIVERS’ ALERT!! Drivers’ alert! This week marks the beginning of the academic year. Kids from 5 - 18 are returning to schools after two months of irregular hours, carefree days unencumbered by strict schedules, long days, and short nights. Some are heading off to school for the first time. It's a time of transition for all of them - and for their par-ents too. Please be mindful, especially in the afternoons after school lets out, that you might see some pretty unexpected behavior and drive even more carefully than usual.
ECW SHARING VACATION
MEMORIES
Come to our next ECW Coffee on
Saturday, September 30th
at 10:00am. “Sharing Vacation Memories” is our theme.
Claudia Walker will share about her recent
trip to Switzerland and then we’ll have discus-
sions at each table sharing memories of past
vacations and hopes for future ones. Please
join us for this opportunity for fellowship.
COFFEE, TEA AND COMPOST
You’ll notice something different at coffee
hour. Gone are the plastic cup holders with
plastic inserts that we have been using for
many years. The plastic inserts are no longer
available. So we are going compostable with
our switch to paper cups.
The change will enable us to take advantage
of our compost waste service and be better
stewards of the environment. And the good
news is compostable cups are less expensive
than the former plastic inserts.
We have also changed to Chinet brand
paper plates that are compostable. Plates and
cups that have a coating are not compostable,
so the small cups that we use for juice should
continue to be tossed in the garbage. We may
also have some paper plates left with a coat-
ing, so those also need to be put in the gar-
bage.
Thanks to Evie for searching out economic
alternatives that allow us to be good stewards.
BACK-TO-SCHOOL SUPPLIES If you like to take advantage of the back-to-
school sales, and would like to donate some
school supplies for Chase Lake, there is a
copy of the school’s list in the Parish Hall.
Watch for a container for your donations.
Items used by many grade levels are cray-
ons, #2 pencils, wide-rule spiral notebooks or
composition books, glue sticks, pink erasers.
Tip: Office Depot/Office Max has good
prices – spiral notebooks @ $.50; pink erasers,
3 pack @ $.50; Glue Stix, 4 pack @ $1.00;
Elmer’s Glue @ $.25; #2 pencils, 12/box @
$1.00.
If you don’t have time to shop and would
like to contribute money, please make your
check to St. Alban’s and indicate “Chase Lake
Supplies” on the memo line.
Children are so happy when they go to
school and have the proper supplies!
