9-21-16

Greetings my friends and happy Wednesday! 

I hope you are having a great week. I want to remind you that BreakFest is this weekend. I urge you to come out and support this UBFM fundraiser. There will be some amazing food and some of the most incredible bloody marys you will ever see. I hope to see you there!

Also, I want to remind you that we have some new volunteer opportunities on Wednesday nights. Of course we start to cook at 6:00pm and we are always in need of volunteers in the kitchen. Now, we are in need of volunteers to help out in the Carpenter’s House, working the clothing closet and visiting with the guests that arrive early. If you are interested in helping out with these efforts, arrive at the Carpenter’s House at 6:00pm.

We will load up Wednesday night at 7:30 and ride out at 8:00 we will return around 9 -9:30. We meet at the Carpenter's House, same location as the FUMC (see below). If you would like to help prepare burritos, we will start in the kitchen of FUMC at 6:30.

We will also meet on Saturday morning at 7:30am to load up and roll out at 8:00. We will return around 9:00. If you would like to help out in the kitchen we start cooking at 7:00am. The meeting location is the same as the Wednesday night ride.
