Fair THIS Friday & Upcoming Cookie Baking

Hi Everyone!

Most of the information you will want is on the sidebar - top item.

Remember also to bring cookies to send to Iraq - this will be our last shipment before Christmas!

If you need directions please call. I don't want to post this on the WWW!

See you Friday - 6PM at the Church... Hint: Rt. 40 - North!

UPCOMING COOKIE BAKING.
On Friday, December 19th - we will bake & decorate cookies as a Community Service Project. I will divide the group in half geographically and meet as two smaller groups. The cookies will be donated to two very worthy organizations that Mrs. Nichols has identified for us.

First: The cookies made at Rodda's will go to the "Inn From the Cold". C Church downtown is hosting 10 homeless men from Josephs House Shelter for the ENTIRE month of December. These cookies will be a welcome treat for them as they face the holiday without a home to call their own and few family members to share it with.

Second: The cookies finished off at the school will be taken to Damien Center. This organization serves lunch & dinner to people in our community living with HIV/AIDS and their families. These families will certainly enjoy the outreach from our group of young people as they cope with their illness thru a holiday season.

Please remember - the cookies will be made and/or decorated on Friday night. We also need an adult and several children to help take these donations downtown on Saturday morning. PLEASE PLEASE consider doing this. TRULY amazing things come from our childrens hearts when they see the fruits of THEIR labors appreciated by strangers in need.
