Distribution of Funds: Susan M. and several members gave information about many of the organizations in our area that we could possibly donate. After much discussion, it was determined we should donate $400 each to SOLVE, Our Daily Bread, St. Jude’s Hospital in FL, Downtown Ministries, Stillpoint Mission, and Turning Points; and donate $600 to Foundation for Dreams. By a show of hands, everyone agreed unanimously.
