Someone has said, “Don’t let the important things go unsaid. Do the things that brighten your life and help you on your way. Live to the fullest; make each day count.”
Those of you who volunteer understand these words so very well. You spend your time doing those things that make you happy. There are so many places where volunteers do things that really count! And, yet, it seems we never have enough volunteers for the things that need to be done.
I always feel a need to thank those of you who help with the backpacks each week, giving your time and energy to help hungry kids. It is so great to have some help in saying “thanks” this month. To those of you who did special shopping for students at Christmas, and those of you who give special time each week here are some very special thanks………
From a parent who sent a very special “Thank YOU” card:
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
EVERY THING WAS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED
Thank you!
From the principal of Beckley Elementary:
First Baptist Church,
Thank you so much for your dedication to our school and students. The food backpacks are items that these students look forward to all week.
We also appreciate you providing Christmas gifts to them as well. You are truly a blessing to our school and these families.
Meghan Houck, Principal
Beckley Elementary School
So you Volunteers, look in the mirror and smile….and see an amazing person looking back at you. You really are someone special, and your presence is a present to the world around you.
The food donation needed this month is a can of pasta with meat. Just put It on the back counter in the church kitchen. Thanks
