7/18 Wednesday

gang--
Glaspeys will be in MT for the upcoming HC. I know it is a "fellowship" night, but I talked to a girl that could use some help in the neighborhood.

Annie Kirschner is in charge of "project summer" which does like the free meals for kids in the parks in the summer and stuff. Her name and contact info was in last weeks bulletin, so I emailed her to find out if there was anything we as an HC could do.

here is an excerpt from our convo:
Another thing that pops to mind is that there is a park (again in North Portland) that has requested that we help hang some door hangers in the neighborhood, as they've not been getting as many kids as they expected for lunch. If you were interested in helping tomorrow evening with that, it would be GREAT, or else possibly next Wednesday (which is the 18th) if that's too short notice. This could be done as a group and I would go with you, and we would just walk around the neighborhood in small groups hanging the flyers (but not knocking or harassing people :).
Feel free to give me a call at 503-517-2099 during the day or 503-239-6518 after 1pm and we can talk more about what you are hoping for, and what will work best with your group.
Thanks again for your interest and I hope that we'll be able to connect you guys to a site that fits well!

Can someone take the lead on this?
J and I are out as of the 14th, through the 21st. Even if we don't do it the 18th there may be other things we can do. I think there is an evening meal we can help with at New Columbia, which would be rad.

thanks guys.
Later

I will contact the Annie on Monday (the 16th). I think if we get an oportunity like this we should give up the fellowship night. We can fellowship while helping the community. We can even hang out after we help out Annie. What does everyone think?

good call, E. we're in! i think it would be great to promote such a good program and it would be a blast to walk the 'hood. we'll be there.
 
That is awesome! I actually circled that in the bulletin today and was going to call her to see how we could help out.
This would be awesome to do this wednesday and since no one had signed up for the evening there was really nothing planned.
Let's go for it and use the time to fellowship and support the hood.
Thanks for pursuing this!
