The Phantom of the Opera trip is all set for May 6

We have a full motorcoach to see the Tony Award-winning Best Musical “The Phantom of the Opera” at the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center in Appleton on Thursday, May 6. Thanks to all of you for paying for this trip in advance. Plan to be at church for departure at 10:00 a.m. that morning.

We will enjoy lunch at the Machine Shed before the 2:00 p.m. performance. If you would be so kind as to call the church at 452-2401 to give us your entree selection, we would really appreciate it. The choices are: Country Fried Chicken (lightly seasoned and golden fried) or Baked Ham (tender, dry-cured ham from Farmland). Included with either choice are “fixin’s” of cole slaw, cottage cheese, potato of the day, vegetable of the day, freshly baked breads and beverages of coffee, tea, milk, juice or soda. We will also have ice cream for dessert. The cost of this meal is $10, and you are welcome to send this money to the church office at your convenience. The VIL Planning Committee will have coolers on the bus in case there are leftovers!

If you have any questions about the trip, please call the church office. Also, if the trip sounds like fun and you would like to go, we would start a waiting list in case someone is unable to attend.

Please note: The VIL Planning Committee is always looking for events and spots of interest for our group. Please let them or the office know if you have any ideas. Thanks
