Hi Mark! I wanted to update you on the food drive collection and provide some pictures for the Scouting for Food service project. There were several hundred bags of food collected on Saturday plus another 30 plus bags collected from the church on Sunday. I have been going daily to my neighbor's house who brings home boxes and I have estimated 1200 cans alone plus four tall boxes of dry goods (flour, sugar, spices, mac and cheese, rice mixes, jellos and puddings) plus 2 boxes of baby foods and 2 boxes of pasta and rice! WHEW! Anyway, I'm writing down 3500 items which I think is about right for the estimate of products received. Here are some pictures for you and if you want to forward them on to the rest of the troop that would be great! Dawn M. Bischoff   Thanks to Mark Griffith for organizing the whole thing as well as the boys and Scouters who helped. Thanks to Brian&Dawn Bischoff who converted their garage into Second Harvest West and Amanda and Parker for organizing. Thanks to EUMC for the bonus donations as well.

Mon, 4 Feb 2008   Tom and Linda, Please express Ebenezer's gratitude to the scouts and families for worshipping with us.  It facilitate a great connection as we all work together to make a difference in people's lives. It was a great worship of celebration. Thanks, Ann  Ann Robins, Pastor Ebenezer UMC

 

I have seen flags so worn that they no longer fit to serve as a symbol of our country.  I'm starting a campaign to collect worn and damaged flags so they can be retired in a dignified manner.  For more information contact Victor Peña at victorsp@aol.com.  More information about displaying the flag can be found at www.usflag.org/flagetiquette.html
