As we prepare to take school supplies to the children of New Orleans and Chicago, I would like to ask you to volunteer a few hours of your time to assist us in loading trucks for both destinations. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
In readying for our trip to New Orleans, during the Aug. 8-10 time frame, we will be loading trucks on Friday, August 6th from 9:00 am until we're finished with the endeavor. Hopefully, the trucks will be loaded by 4:00 pm at the latest. As we did last year, we'll provide you with a lunch and we'll be sure to keep you hydrated.
Relative to helping Chicago Public Schools, we will load the trucks on Wednesday, August 18th from 9:00 am until we've completed loading the trucks (around 4 pm). Also, anyone wishing to go to Chicago to deliver the supplies is welcome to join us. I think it is best, for anyone wishing to help us deliver to CPS, to simply meet at our first stop and then tailgate to various stops thereafter. Our first stop on Thursday, August 19th will be at Medgar Evers School, 9811 S. Lowe Ave., Chicago, IL. 60628. We will meet at Evers at 10:00 am on the 19th.
We will be loading trucks on both August 6th and Aug. 18th at 20048 S. Kohlwood Dr., Mokena, IL. 60448. Should you be able to help us you can let me know by emailing me at rich219@comcast.net or calling at 630-863-6035. I will provide directions to Mokena should you need them.
Please accept my thanks for your past help and your willingness to pitch in again this year!! Because of you, we are able to help thousands of children in need.
Many thanks,
Dick Flesher
