What was discussed at our meeting on September 25th. Collection sites and flyers are complete in Pike, still waiting on some responses from out of county. Media, I had an interview with the Dubois Co Herald on Friday, the story will be in this week's paper. Local 7 news interview this Friday morning. Columbus Container, OFS, and Masterbrand thanks for the collection boxes, they are great, also thanks to all the kids and adults that have helped with decorating collection boxes, they look great!!
Parade, we are meeting at 5:30 behind the court house to walk in the parade for Tractors for Trenton, anyone is welcome. Winslow Pto is doing 2 baskets at their fall festival one for a boy and one for a girl and the proceeds they are going to buy items for us.
Deadline for our application is Nov. 1st, only the board will be reviewing these to determine who will be qualified for our program, foster children our an automatic, but still need to fill an application out. Distribution date of gifts will be on 12-11-11, not sure where we will be doing this yet.
Anyone willing to make homeade items example like hats, or blankets we would be so happy to take these and distribute them.
We talked about having a CPR class at one of our meetings so that we can get more people trained in that, including myself. Wonderful news was given to us about swim lessons, Jason McKinney has offered up free swim lessons on anyone who goes through Tractors for Trenton, and if they would want to donate, he wants anything donated to come back to our organization. We will have more details on this in the future. Everytime I tell this I get chills, this makes me extremely happy.
One idea that was also brought up is doing memory gifts of people who lost loved ones in farming accidents, the item donated by the loved ones family will have a special card on it explaining who this item was donated by and maybe a short memory shared of the loved one.
Next meeting is on October 12th starting at 6:30. Hope to see all of you there, and God Bless!!!
