FIRST RICE - HELP OUR REFUGEE FAMILIES WITH FOOD

When Burmese families arrive it takes 7-12 days for them to get a steady
source of food. We'd like to assist World Relief with feeding these
families.

On Sunday, 10/4 we will be collecting 10 lb+ bags of rice for these refugee
families. If you have a membership, Sam's and Costco sell the larger bags
of rice at a good price. Jasmine rice tends to be popular among the Burmese.

There will be a designated spot in the foyer for the rice. We will collect
rice on 10/4 only.

COSTUME CARNIVAL CANDY TIME!

It's that time again! The Costume Carnival will be coming up soon, and we
need LOTS and LOTS of candy! We actually ran out last year, and we don't
want that to happen again!

So, please bring in bags of candy to be handed out to all the community
children who come to the carnival! We need ALL KINDS of candy! Chocolate!
Lollipops! Hard Candy! Smarties! And any other kind you can think of!

There will be a collection pool in the Main Foyer beginning THIS Sunday!

Also, keep an ear out for volunteer opportunities in the coming weeks!
