Thank You Pantry Volunteers

A GREAT BIG thank you to everyone (Erin/Jason Clary, Heather/Mike Korey, Jennifer Samonsky & godson Holden, Jennifer Skidmore, Michele Cancilla, Shea/Carson/Ashton Smith) who was able to help out our own Wendy Alexander who was managing The Pantry this morning.  We distributed over 60 boxes of food and we all truly enjoyed the experience.  Thanks to the guys for doing the heaving lifting for us!  They brought over 900 pounds of food from the collection bins near the preschool entrance (and then turned around and carried it all back out to the patron's cars for distribution...in the rain!).  We helped check in, weigh & sort the food collected this week, learned how to make boxes to be distributed and then re-stocked the shelves for next week.  Our next opportunity to work as a team at The Pantry will be Saturday, May 7th.

This Week's Meeting Topic

Wendy Alexander & Jennifer Skidmore will be leading our meeting this week, with the topic being their recent mission trip to Russia!

Just a reminder that there is not a meeting (or any other Wednesday activities) next week on account of Ash Wednesday.  Our next meeting will be on 3/16, and we will be discussing the book chapter on Elizabeth.

We have enough volunteers scheduled to help at The Pantry this weekend, but always welcome extra hands!  Please email Erin or Heather if you would like to come and help, but have not RSVPed on the evite.
