Water Buffalo Bake Sale

The Catholic Outreach Committee of Notre Dame Church in Durham will have a BAKE SALE to benefit Heifer  International the last weekend in April.   We are again trying to see how many Water Buffalos we can provide.   Farmers in Southeast Asia rely on these animals to plow and provide milk.   One farmer has said," If I die my family will grieve. If my buffalo dies, my family will starve." Heifer international raises these beautiful animals, gives them to farmers who are taught good farming methods. The first offspring is given to another family and so on. Because of these gifts families are often able to afford education, which further lifts them out of poverty. Please support our effort to be a part of this process by baking for, volunteering to help at or purchasing something from the sale, which will take, place this year on APRIL 28-29 AFTER ALL MASSES. Cards will also be available for those wishing to make a donation to memorialize or honor a loved one. What a thoughtful Mother's Day or Father's Day gift for that Mom or Dad who has everything?   Please call Judy Hurlbert (349-3248) or Sylvia Fazzino, (860-349-3761) to purchase gift cards before the sale or if you have questions or would like to help. Thank you all in advance for your generosity
