** G.R.A.C.E. notes for this week.
G.R.A.C.E. Volunteers,

United Way of Logan County is presenting another Poverty Simulation on Wednesday September 27 from 11:30 to 1:30 p.m. at the Hilliker YMCA.  We are primarily doing this one as the initiation for our new Student United Way group.  But we have additional spaces that we can open up for other agencies and the general public.

No new updates, other than, we packed 127 bags plus a few items for the Junior High/High School Share Tables.

There is to be a discussion this Tuesday, September 12th, immediately following packing.  We will decide whether or not we will do some lunch in the park/grab & go meals or drive-thru soup & sandwich nights.  Please come prepared to help decide what we will do, when, and how.

** 1st Wednesday Kids Club has likely run its course. With most of our teachers and helpers not getting any younger, we simply do not feel that we can provide adequate care for our kids. We do encourage you to sign up through the United Way to be a lunch buddy! If they get enough help they will be able to cover 3rd and 2nd graders! You can reach out to Melody Couchman from the Logan County United Way at [email protected]. The program begins October 17th.

** Light Hours has been a great resource for our college age young people. Stay tuned for our next meeting day and time.
