AFGHAN REFUGEES: Details were presented on Sunday Oct 30 about an Afghan refugee family of six that has recently landed in the USA. We are doing a four week "Gift Card Drive". The family’s transportation is bicycles, and they are walking distance to a Walmart. In the short run, Walmart and Visa gift cards would be greatly appreciated. To help support the Afghan refugee effort, checks can also be earmarked Outreach, Afghan Refugees. Receptacles for collection of cards have been placed in the Sanctuary, Hale Hall and the office. Susan Sardinia recently visited with the family and helped one child fill out college applications! They are very appreciative!

GREEN TIP OF THE WEEK
LEFTOVER THANKSGIVING TURKEY?
Don’t throw out those bones!! Or meat! Google: “Turkey Leftovers,” and tons of recipes will pop up. Make a casserole or soup and freeze it for a busy December or January night when you don’t feel like cooking. Share with a person who lives alone or who is recovering from surgery. Invite someone over for conversation and a bite or two.
