*New and Very Special Opportunity to Reach Out on Christmas Day:
A group will be going to several extended stay hotels in our area where many displaced families have found themselves due to economic conditions. We will bring and serve Christmas lunch and spend time talking and visiting with these families. We would love to have others join us to help provide and serve meals to these families on Christmas Day. A group of us did this on Thanksgiving and our experience was amazing......we hope to continue that experience on Christmas. The number of people volunteering will determine the number of hotels we will serve. Please contact Tami Dillard at tamfram2002@yahoo.com or Pam Lewis at pam.chavezlewis@gmail.com if you are interested in joining us.
