Updates!!

Things are progressing just great on many fronts!!

First of all, in the first three days of collecting funds for Hurricane Sandy we've been able to amass $1,350.  At this rate we'll have a good amount of money so that we can assist people back east.  Just as we did in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the first action we'll take back east is to get to a school community and provide them with food.  As soon as I have a location I'll be sure to let you know.  In the meantime, keep the contributions coming in!

With regard to our coat drive, things couldn't be better.  More people are pitching in that ever before.  We have over 150 coats and many hundreds of other pieces of winter clothing.  Lockport H.S., Prairieview Elementary, Kids4Good, Eisenhower Jr. High, the Hinsdale Central H. S. soccer program and many families are joining forces to collect coats and other winter wear.

This is a time of year when the cold weather, the effects of the hurricane and the holidays all come together at once.  It's a time we can say with one voice, "I hear you and am willing to pitch in and aid you in your time of need."

I'm most appreciative of your support of the above initiatives.

Thank you,
Dick
