CMF October Meeting

In the month of October CMF will meet on the third Saturday; (10/15) this month only. The Georgetown men will be preparing our breakfast, and will do the clean up also.

After we eat and have a short meeting, we will precede to remove the playground at the back of the parking lot.  Everyone is welcome.  The more the better.  This playground is no longer being used by the Church, and is an eye sore. 

You will need to bring hand tools and yard tools.  We will need to bring wheel barrels  also.  We are looking for someone who would be interested in taking the rocks. If anyone knows of anyone who would want to come get the rocks please let one of the CMF members know.

Serving Center Birthday Bags Needed!

Remember our drive to supply Birthday Bags to the Round Rock Serving Center?  If you recall, we were gathering supplies for, and putting together, birthday bags for clients of the Serving Center.  In the words of the Center, " Birthday bags are given to families who have a child with a birthday in the current month of their food pantry visit.  The birthday bag includes content which allows the child to have a birthday party."

 

This worthwhile and inexpensive project raises the spirits of not only the child, but the parent who is struggling and would not otherwise have the means to give what most of us do as a matter of course for our children.

We have heard from the Serving Center and the need for birthday bags is dire at the moment.  Could you supply a birthday bag to help a child celebrate their special day? 

 

If you would like to contribute, look for a bin marked " Birthday Bags" in the Welcome Center.  Information sheets will be attached which explain details.  When enough supplies have been collected, DWM members will assemble (if needed) and deliver them to the Serving Center.

New Education Connection Website

 

Round Rock ISD volunteer registration

If you have any questions, please feel free to visit with Janette Johnston, Literacy Partner Coordinator, or one of our Literacy Partners, Susan Kessler, Tricia Mouser or Gayle Boles. There is also lots of history and information on the Education Connection website. The program only started in RR year before last with 2 schools. I think there were about 6 RR schools last year, and 8 more are being added this year. The program is really growing and needs lots of help.
