Nicaragua Container Shipment: Your generosity continues to bring hope and joy to children and their families in Nicaragua.
Please bring your donations of summer-weight clothing and shoes, sports equipment, and household items to the church parking lot on Saturday, May 2 from 9 a.m.
to 11 a.m.
This year we are trying out a new coded labeling system to foil would-be pilferers in the Nicaragua customs house.
To support this effort, please bring all donations in plain boxes (i.e., even if it is a brand new item, take it out of its original packing and put it in a nonspecific box), then for each box write the contents on a piece of paper or masking tape and affix it loosely to the box.
Jim Burchell, of PeaceWorks, will be removing these loose labels and replacing them with coded labels as the boxes are loaded into the container later that day.
Thank you for helping sustain this worthwhile, much-appreciated project! Please call if you have questions: Marilyn Devroye or Dan Ocone.

Tax deductible donations of books will be accepted at the American Legion from April 14 through 21.

Habitat for Humanity Restore: The Morris Habitat for Humanity operates a ReStore in Mine Hill.
