Pastoral Planning: The three pastoral units of Isle Madame, East Richmond and West Richmond met on
Thursday, April 21st, 2005 in Louisdale. Feedback from the parish councils was shared concerning the
questions, "How can the laity become more involved in Church? How can we reach out to those who are not in
Church? How do we get people involved in church, and reach out to those who are not in church at local
level?" It was suggested by the Chair, Lester Morgan that each representative return to their councils with the
discussions that were mentioned, and try to generate more ideas to bring forth to the next meeting.

Card Game: This Saturday, June 24th will be our last game for the season. On behalf of the many people

entertainment as well as a needed fund raiser for the hall. We look forward to renewing social ties and
friendships in the fall.

Richmond Villa looks back as they prepare for the move to new location: August 20th is fast approaching
and that's relocation day for the residents and staff of Richmond Villa. Staff wanted to do something special to
raise funds so they could contribute to their new home, but more than this they wanted to honor the memories of
former colleagues, residents, volunteers and the many people who helped Richmond Villa to develop, grow and
move forward to become the quality organization it is today. Cooking With Historical Memories - Richmond
Villa Remembers 1972-2006 A Memorial Recipe Collection is our new cookbook, which we hope will be a
very special addition to the collections of many kitchens in homes throughout our communities. Many people
have had their lives touched by the care provided to their families and friends at Richmond Villa. Our
cookbook is now on sale at the Villa and from our staff members. It will also be placed at various commercial
outlets throughout the area. We thank you for all the support you continue to bestow on our organization and
look forward to continuing to serve you in our new location.
