This fresh fruit will go out in backpacks on Friday the 19th, the last day of school for 2 weeks! You can help feed a hungry kid is Arbor Lodge, 70 kids benefit from the backpack program. Other shelf stable food also accepted, yet emphasis is on the fresh fruit this week. Thank you!!!

Did you sign up to volunteer with us during the October meeting?
The sign up sheet for new volunteers for the Clean Up, Movie in the Park Committees, and the School Backpack program has been lost! It was worth its ink in gold, but phooey, I lost it.
If you still want to volunteer to help plan either the Clean up in April or the Movie in the Park for next summer; or if you want to join the School Backpack Donation Network and you signed up at the meeting, please pop me an e-mail so I can direct you to the Committee or Network. New volunteers always welcome too. Thanks, Ginger - ginger.edws@gmail.com
