FIRST RICE - COLLECTING RICE THIS SUNDAY!
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.
THIS 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.

FIRST FAMILY BIKE TRIP
Friday & Saturday, October 23-24. Registrations are due by Wed, Oct. 14!
Space is limited, so don't wait!
This is an easy 17 mile downhill ride on the Creeper Trail in Damascus, VA.
It's a great trip for the whole family! It's a beautiful ride through the
countryside of Virginia!
Halfway down the trail, the group will stop for a picnic lunch!
