This is a great opportunity for you to show your support by eating great food, while at the same time helping generate funds for a great cause. Nuevo Mexico Restaurante has arranged to contribute 15% of all proceeds for lunch and dinner from their sales back to Kenwood. This money will be used for Kenwood’s Hinton Mission Trip. Just pick up a flyer in the sanctuary foyer and bring it to either location (Staples Mill or Stony Point). Mark your calendars: our date is Thursday, May 31! We hope to see you (and everyone you know) there!
