On June 17, 2010, the United Methodist Women of Aldersgate United Methodist Church were extremely pleased to present a check to Rising Hope Church on Rt. 1 and to United Community Ministries on Fordson Road for $2,685 each.  The total proceeds to both organizations being $5,370  The money was raised during an annual Fashion Show, presented each year by the United Methodist Women for the sole purpose of raising funds for these two extremely worthwhile organizations. 

Accepting the money for Rising Hope was Pastor Keary Kincannon, and accepting the money for United Community Ministries was Development Director, Niki Wanner.  The recession has hit these two organizations hard as they rely on gifts and donations from the community to keep their vital services and ministries flowing.  Presenting the checks were UMW Presidents, Deborah Chusmir and Patricia Travis.

The Fashion Show this year was planned and produced by Lydia Circle of Aldersgate UMC.  Representatives from Lydia Circle participating in the presentation included Nancy Raley and Kathy Mulcahy from the Fashion Show Steering Committee and Lydia Circle Leader, Jane Gandee.  This funfilled Fashion Show takes place every spring at Aldersgate…watch for it next year!!
