Benfit To Support Katrina Victims Mark your calendars, this is your chance to do something you have been wanting to do. On October 9, a Hymn Sing and Covered Dish Supper will take place at the Thompson United Methodist Church at 4:00 p.m. A donation will be collected for the purpose of helping victims of Hurricane Katrina, directly through the auspices of UMCOR, the United Methodist Relief Organization. UMCOR has been working to help our neighbors in the South since the “Terrible Storm” devastated the Gulf Region. Never before has our help been needed so much. We’ve all seen the scenes on our televisions of folks just like us trying to cope with what seems like an impossible situation. They can’t even think about the future. We can help. And we can make a few of our Brothers and Sisters in Christ a little more comfortable. UMCOR is distributing Health Kits and Cleaning Bucket Kits that are being prepared by United Methodist Churches all over the country. Check with your Church Pastor on what is needed. Money always helps. Money buys more items. Church members will pack them out. Yes, we can make a difference to friends in need. Come out and sing God’s praise and enjoy a “good ole country covered dish supper” October 9, 4:00 p.m.

Get Ready For More Great Theater! Fresh from their acclaimed productions of Pajama Game and Southern Fried Murder, Endless Mountains Theatre Company is ready to do it again. This time it's David Birney's Diaries of Adam and Eve – a funny, tender, philosophical exploration of the relationship between Man and Woman. The play is adapted from the writings of America's wittiest sage, Mark Twain. "Mark Twain had a rare, timeless combination of wisdom and humor," comments director Tim Hutchins. "That's why his characters and his words can still make us laugh and think today." The cast of "Adam and Eve" includes just two hard-working actors – in this case EMTC's Bob DeLuca and Bonnie Love. "I saw this play several years ago and liked it instantly," says DeLuca, who has been in every EMTC show this season and the majority of the company's shows over the years. "It's a funny, poignant, and delightful piece, and I though it would be a good addition to EMTC's schedule."
And since EMTC likes to spread the fun around, this is a "road show". It kicked off as a dinner-theatre production in Scranton, and now it's coming home to Susquehanna County! On September 23, Diaries of Adam and Eve will see one performance without dinner at Blue Ridge High School in New Milford, PA. The tour will continue as dinner-theatre on September 24–25 at Mountain View Restaurant. Call (570) 434-2283 for Mt. View dates only.
