Here we go! We've received somehwere just over 40 backpacks, and Tacha and Maria, bless their hearts, buzzed through checking those that had already been packed and those that needed packing and put them together in just a short while. We started getting calls from folks to check and see if we would be distributing again this year, and are compiling the list. We've got a few backpacks left that are almost ready to go except for one or two items. We'll continue to collect this coming week, will be going to a retreat for Pastors and families from Thursday through Saturday, then will begin distribution Monday the 20th. Leslie and the kids will go to Virginia Beach on Monday, to celebrate Angela's birthday on Tuesday, and will be picking up those backpacks collected at Thalia Lynn to bring back with them on Wednesday. Tacha and Maria fly back to Spain on Tuesday the 21st, so we'll be taking the day to take them to the airport, but then come back and dive into the distribution full force. :-) should be fun!
Peace
