New opportunities:

Gloria read a wonderful letter written by Norene about her friend Verna Lee Mylott. We wrote a $500 check to the Manchester rescue squad and we will collect $ for gifts for the Grandchildren and other items to give in a basket to Verna Lee and family.

Lauri discussed a friend who would benefit greatly from gift cards for gas- she is driving everyday for treatments. We will collect $ and other basket items for her as well.

Laura Sienne from UCS has a request for larger clothing for a client and her single mom. Since the sizes are hard to find I think Heartworks will give a check of $150 to them to purchase at JC Penny.

Otherwise, we will supplement with our HW Funds…
