It was wet but went well.... we had a bunch of troopers!!

Special Thanks to Tom Jepsen for his Dodge and trailer and to Anthony Silva, he had the tarp that saved the ladies!!

God works in Mysterious WAYS!!! (925 642 6187 for volunteering.)

Was at a business luncheon yesterday and who should sit beside me but Ruth Goodin, Senior Foundation Director for LMC (Los Medanos College).  I mentioned that I had taken a short course in grant writing and a few classes at the Foundation Center because I hoped to use these new skills for the Salvation Army-Delta Corps.   

Ms. Goodin mentioned that she had just written for and received a 3.2 million dollar grant for LMC!!! Wow!!!  So of course the obvious next question was "will you please mentor me" in my attempts at grant writing, her response "YES"!!!!!!!!!!  I am soooo excited about this development!!!

So boys and girls everywhere, let's keep the good work going. Please volunteer for our local Salvation Army, we have a dedicated phone number for your questions and scheduling!!  NUMBER IS (925) 642 6187.
