To Whom it May Concern,
By being one of 75 supporting congregations which
participates
in
our Ministry Drive Days, your church is providing items that move our community
members in the direction of self sufficiency (food, toiletries, bus passes and warm
items) and give them hope (gifts, toy store, wish list, cookies, televisions) bringing
us closer to our mission to build community in Uptown.
This year, we
are committed to ensuring you have the information you need to make our Drive Days
a success. We have opened up 14 volunteer positions to coordinate each of our drives.
If you know of someone who is looking for a volunteer opportunity that they can work
on from their own home, please have them contact Shawna Tuttle 773.271.3760. We
estimate
it is about a 15 hour committment spread over the month of the drive. Meanwhile,
look in the mail in March for a bulletin insert about this year's Drive Days.
We also wanted an opportunity to thank you by celebrating a Drive Days Picnic on Saturday June
23rd.
Look for more details on this in upcoming editions of E-Muse. We hope you will join
us in our Drive Days this year and at the Picnic! Please have your drive volunteer/s
contact Shawna Tuttle at 773.271.3760 if your congregation will be participating
in any of our drives to ensure that we properly acknowledge your efforts and to put
you on the invitation list to the Drive Days Picnic.
Thank you in advance
for you participation,
 Pastor Bob Lesher Jr.
