Trip to the Charlotte Processing Center to Volunteer
We have confirmed our reservation to Volunteer at the Processing
Center in Charlotte Saturday, December 12, 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. The
youth have to be 13 to work there, since it's a working warehouse. We
will go down Friday evening and stay at a hotel. The hotel we stayed at
last year was very nice, suites that could sleep up to 6 people. The cost
was $99.00 a night. You need to bring money for food also, and we may
try to go to the mall (Bass Pro and Lego store) while we are there.
It's a great experience to see more of the impact the shoe boxes
have, and hear from shoe box recipients while working.
For more info, email me at kjdeffner@yahoo.com or call me at 5349333 or 229 0235.

In addition, if you would like to contribute financially towards the
purchase of turkeys or hams for our neighbors, you may make either a

the meats.)
