Ladies,

 Hope everyone is doing well.  I wanted to take a minute let you all know that we will have a food drive at annual conference to benefit the Galveston County Food Bank.  I have been told that we will have a space to collect donations in the lobby of the convention center near registration.  I am sending with BT copies of the attached flyer that I hope he gives to everyone in attendance at the district meetings to start spreading the word.  Diane wants us to be giving back to the community as we converge on Galveston in a few weeks.  We will be taking monetary donations but she hopes to be able to see lots of 15 oz. canned goods arriving to fill the donation boxes.

We would appreciate your help to remind people of this mission project on your website or in group e-mails as we draw closer to the opening service at annual conference.  Also, we need volunteers to help greet people and take the donations.  My schedule is attached and you can see I have very few volunteers at this point though I have been promoting the need for several weeks.  If you can promote the need for volunteers in any way I will greatly appreciate it.  Just have anyone who might say they will help to e-mail me their availability.  Thanks for your help.
