Getting ready for the big day of caring

On Monday night the "Because We Care" Team met to talk about our upcoming giveaway day on February 20th. We'll be heading up to the Martin Luther King Center to meet our neighbors and distribute tooth paste, tooth brushes, soap, shampoo, laundry detergent and other assorted goodies. We have been making the "no sew" blankets and also collecting socks, hats, mittens and used coats to bring along.

This coming Saturday, February 13 we will gather at 9:00 a.m. to distribute fliers in the neighborhood. We are looking for volunteers to join us as we walk up and down the streets around the church giving notice to our neighbors.

On February 20th we'll get to church at 9:00 a.m. and transport our things up the street and set them up. If you would like to help, come along. From 10:00 a.m. to noon we will be greeting and meeting the folks who come by. We'll have popcorn, cold drink and coffee to share with them. Last year we had a lot of fun and we expect more of the same.

If you would like to know more about the "Because We Care" team, talk to chairperson Cynthia Strouse, or team members Curt Brockway, Erica Corbett, Amanda Duntz, Judy Dupont, Sue Ferguson, Pete Ingoglia, and Lisa Lapointe.
