COMMUNITY SERVICE BULLETIN
The TCBOR Community Service Committee has been hard at work this quarter!!
On May 10th we had the BBQ Fundraiser to
benefit Camp Viola. This was one of the
MOST successful fundraisers in recent
years — raising over $2700!! The CSC presented the check to Kevin Stringham of
Camp Viola on May 29. A HUGE “Thank
You” to all who bought tickets, sold tickets,
delivered plates, and served! You are what
made this so successful!!
Our Canned Food Drive was also
greatly successful!! The CSC presented the food to the Lagrange
Food Closet on May 29. Thank you to
all who donated food. Our community
depends on ministries like this. Thank
you, thank you!!!
