On behalf of the Helping Hands Committee, Tom asked me to offer for your approval a request for $300.00 to help the Men's Thursday Noon Bible Group fund purchases of Care Packages for US Troops with a MPUMC connection. At present we have four such individuals. Recently the Bible Group took on as a project communicating with our Military connections from Mpumc. One large cost of each package is anticipated to be telephone credit cards. A picture of the request form is below. Tell me if you do not see it and I will figure out what is wrong.
We have about $1,400 in our Helping Hands account if my memory is working (Mary Katerine Vass please correct me Sunday if I am off too much). Remember you can contribute to the Fund to honor or as a memorial to individuals. Several members has used this honor/memorial technique this year, and we encourage you to remember the Helping Hand Fund in your giving decisions. - and in requests for use of the finds. One source of funds has been the $50 members won for simply visiting our Class Blog and emailing me you were there and that you wanted the money given to Helping Hands. The offer has been up again for a couple of months with no takers. Sure is easy money.
Jim Hatfield is the leader of the Bible Group which consists of about 14 members with 8 from Ownbey. We are always looking for new members, so join us please. We meet in Jubilee Hall usually and eat leftovers from Thursday nights for a couple of bucks, what a deal!
The members of the Helping Hand Committee are: (tell me if I missed any names)
Tom Stinson (Chair), Ellen Chason, Cal Chesson, Don Hammer, Don Redding, the President and the Treasurer (ex – officio)
Tom is out of town this weekend and he asked me to present this to you Sunday for approval. Let us know if you have any questions or concerns about this request. It has been approved by the Committee and needs your final approval.
thanks don
