Subject: Passing of Connie Cowan, wife of Dan Cowan of our music community

Hello everyone.  Again, sad to report the passing of someone in our music community.  Connie was the wife of our Dan Cowan who sang and played the guitar and was to everyone of our homeplace gatherings.
 
In order to be of support during this difficult time for Dan and his daughters sad and sudden loss, members of the homeplace family, both relatives and music friends are making and buying food for the family gathering after the burial tomorrow which is Sunday.  This gathering will be at our friendly and familiar homeplace.  Dan was going to hire a caterer, however, help was pledged by Nancy McClellan, Zoe Brewer and Judy Archibald along with myself to make and gather as much food and supplies as we think needed.
 
Bobby Taylor will be playing Amazing Grace at the Funeral.

We are collecting WRAPPED gifts for the children currently staying at the Sojourners' Shelter.  They currently have 25 children staying there ranging from a newborn baby to a 17 year old.  Sunday, December 23rd will be the last day that we accepted the gifts which will be delivered to the shelter right after the Sunday service.

UKV is also accepting donations for Heifer International.  This organization feeds the needy all over the world.  Depending on many donations that UKV receives, we can donate some animals to families around the world.  They promise that the first born animal from their gifted animal goes to a neighbor and soon the village learns how to provide for themselves.  So far, we have collected $220.  For another $30, a family can receive a water buffalo. With some more donations, we can donate for example - $20 = a flock of chicks, $30= honey bees for a farm in Kentucky, a goat = $120, 3 bunnies = $60, etc.



I would like to thank everyone for your generous donations to date.  We have several gifts under the tree for the Sojourner children, some money to the Heifer International, and some donations to the victims of the house fire of Jack's wife, Andrea's co-worker.  Your generosity is so very appreciated.


You are a blessing!  Have a great week!
