BLOOD DRIVE. By RA Maxwell
The blood
drive scheduled for May 7th was cancelled per Red Cross stating they have
rescheduled our dates to other locations in the city because of our unstable
condition caused by our layoffs and plant closing. Thank you to all of you who
have come for the past drives.

LIFE MEMBER LUNCHEON. By RA Maxwell
At this
August 17th LM-Luncheon we will again be collecting food for the Salvation Army
Food Pantry. Thank you to all who have brought wonderful donations of food to
past luncheons. Again, please bring some of these following items: Cereal,
Boxed dinners, Boxed or bag rice projects, Canned meat, Canned vegetables,
Canned tomato products, Canned beans, Canned soups/stew, Boxed macaroni and
cheese, and of course Cake/cookie mix. There is a dire need for the food items
listed. They all will be greatly appreciated.
Brush-up Nebraska… will be August 21st. We will be
painting a house for the poor or handicapped. We will be notified on July 14th
the actual location of the house. We need a crew of about 25 good volunteers to
do ONE house. At our last council meeting about 15 indicated they plan on
coming. Additional volunteers will be in our request at this August
LM-Luncheon. By RA Maxwell
Visiting the Shut-Ins… Our new HCP Committee will be good for
our
community. These are our thoughts – Of course people we visit would have to be
called to see if they even want any guests. Some possible HCP volunteers
could be from our friends or lunch groups,
or from our
HCP driving for the blind group.
What would
be our scope – Just to visit, listen or sing old songs with them – or
to be someone to drive them places. By
RB Gaddie Sr.

ABOVE and/or the FOLLOWING projects of HCP can be found on our WEB Site. http://www.heartlandpioneers.com/
