OVEREATERS

Overeaters Anonymous is not just
about weight loss, gain or
maintenance; or obesity or diets.
We address physical, emotional,
and spiritual well-being. We are not
a diet fix. We support you to eat
properly. Our group has been on
hiatus for a few weeks, but have
started back up with new leaders
and a excitement to help others.
Meeting times are Mondays at
6:30pm We welcome each and
every person to attend this support

as a large selection of beautiful plants and delicious baked

UNDER CONSTRUCTION
PARDON OUR MESS – Due to a leaky roof, part of the ceiling collapsed
and we have to tear down the walls and repair the center! This means we
had to cancel several events and rentals for several weeks, and some of
our property was damaged. If you feel you would like to help ease the
burden financially, please talk to us about what you can do to help. Part
of our existence depends on rentals and events, and a month or two with
decreased rentals and fundraisers can take a toll on us. We appreciate
the help and support from our members and friends. Thank you for your
understanding and patience during this construction period. We know
some activities will be moved around throughout the building from timeto-time and we appreciate you working with us.
Join the St. Croix Card Tournament every
Wednesday starting March 19th at 9:30am
– 11am. This event will be in Amery on
May 14th. Please make sure you call by
May 12th at 9am to sign up to play Euchre,
500 or Cribbage. Have fun!

A Family Tradition
At Williamson-White we know the importance of family. Being family-owned means respecting family values – compassion,
sensitivity, and a commitment to helping other families in their time of sorrow. By making arrangements before the time of
need, your family can be relieved of making tough decisions during their time of grievance. We believe in transforming a
fond remembrance into a truly meaningful and personal event for you and your family.
