My plan is to offer the

project to Ruth Circle

at Calvary, a group of

women that I have

known for

decades. We would

spend at least half a

day planting all the

planters and some

garden flowers. I also

have asked that a staff

member and a student

be with us at lunch to

tell us something

about their contract

Arts and Technology

High School. I will

provide coffee, snacks

for breaks, and lunch,

so that the $250 can

go directly to PCYC for

unrestricted funds.

Our plan is to

involve the entire

staff of Time of

Grace Ministry in

preparing lunches

for the Joy House

Rescue Mission.

The Joy House

provides a safe

haven for homeless

women, many who

are fleeing domestic

violence. We will be

preparing 100

lunches to assist

their efforts

Our office

purchased flowers

to plant at Project

for Pride in Living

but because of the

rain we ended up

painting hallways

and entryways for 3

apartment buildings.

We were able to

match the donation

we received from

TCOMM-Colonnade

for this project.
