The Rt. Rev. Kirk S. Smith
Bishop of Arizona

 
Bishop Kirk SmithIt seems that everywhere we turn, the economic news is grim: record prices for gasoline, a real estate market that has lost 30% in Arizona, increasing work layoffs, talk of world-wide market collapse.

PHOENIX - Please join St. Stephen's, Phoenix as they form an American Girl Club for people of all ages. The first organizational meeting on Saturday, July 12 will begin with a potluck breakfast before they go to see the new American Girl G-rated movie "Kit Kittredge" (www.kitkittredge.com) at a local theater.

Proposed activities include reading, cooking, field trips, an overnight lock-in, doll first aid, customized dolls, and guest speakers. We hope to meet every 1-3 months, depending on the interest.

Attendees do not need to have an American Girl (www.americangirl.com) doll to attend, just an interest in history and a willingness to join in the fun.

Please contact Greta at either 480-946-7861 or ghuls@amug.org or St. Stephen's at 602-840-0437.
