The money they raise is given to the church to buy what is needed. They provide the money for such things as vestments and for flowers for the church at Christmas and Easter. St. Michael's Ladies Guild participates with the Madonna Auxiliary to provide the lunch at the Ecumenical Service whenever it is held at St. Michael's. The Ladies Guild also furnishes the lunches which are served after funerals. The women of St. Michael's Church take turns every month to clean the church.

Winter Transportation .s A V F.. -. I - In December, after Neuman stops running his boats, there are very few ways to get off the Island. One is by plane which flies here, and flies back to the mainland. Griffing flies from Sandusky, and Island Airlines flies out of Port Clinton. It is about a 15 minute plane ride from either airport to here. Many people fly back and forth to shop or to attend meetings. There is another way off the Island if the ice is thick. Last winter the ice was just perfect for crossing the lake - by cars and some even crossed the ice on snowmobiles. Lots of people went to see friends and go shopping. Some people went to Put-in-Bay for just something to do. Paul Matso W-.X 'L ,, - n ., V ..51w'lf.. 'r,.-- tr I 1 M ,. lf, A 42
