News for the week of August 7, 2011

The Salvation Army Food Drive was a great success this year. In a letter read out to the church on Sunday, words of congratulations flowed from the Salvation Army for the money raised and the food collected.

Not only was this event for a worthy cause but several volunteers managed to have their efforts count towards community volunteer hours.

Many thanks to Susan Benson for organizing and for those that helped to make this event a success!
