There are only four days left until the February 13th registration deadline for the 2010 CIK Winter Retreat! Don’t delay!
If you’re snowed in and can’t get your registration form and check in the mail by the deadline, at least send a quick email to cikblog@gmail.com with your class preferences. We just need a count of attendees so that we can tell Willow Creek how many people will be eating lunch.
The 2010 CIK Winter Retreat will be held Saturday, February 20th from 10am to 3pm at the Willow Creek Golf Course in West Des Moines.
Hope to see you there!

• 5 Christmas Stockings
• 12 baby hats

• 6 baby sweaters
• 2 baby sets-sweaters and hats (4 items)
• 15 assorted child and adult hats
• 10 moms’ washcloths

Distribution of these items is accomplished through many special CIK members, including Charity Coordinator Robin Fulton, Vicki Woodward (prayer shawls), Lorraine Keller (Edmunds Elementary), Mindy Aller (The Pines project), and others. CIK thanks them and you. Pictured below is the Warm Up America quilt made by CIK that will be given to a local homeless agency this winter.
