PenPal Party - Thursday night (Sept 10) at 6pm

The letters are back and we're ready to process and deliver them! We have a table reserved at Connections Church (formerly TPC) and New Hope Fellowship for the next two Sunday mornings (9/13 and 9/20) to deliver letters, but before we can deliver them, we need to record them! Please help us this Thursday night, from 6:00 pm to 8:30 pm out at Miracle Camp and Retreat Center (25281 80th Ave., Lawton, MI 49065).

So, what will I do? We'll have computer stations set-up where teams of two will process and enter letters. It's easy:
  1. Helper 1 reads the letter and makes sure there's no prohibited content (if there is, it's set aside).
  2. Helper 2 looks up the letter PenPal's name in the database.
  3. Helper 2 enters the new letter under the PenPal's record.
  4. Helper 1 marks the letter as read and files it.
Super easy and fun! It's a great way to get to know the African children. The database is very simple to use and everyone will be trained on how to search for PenPal's, record letters, and file. We will not go longer than 8:30 pm, but leave when you need to. Bring a friend to work with if you want! The more people we have the faster it goes.

Any questions, call Kyle (269-365-2697) or Sheryl (269-679-4069). See you there!
