More Backpacks Needed!

First I wanted to let you know how thrilled the Breaking Down Walls Ministry was with the school clothes and backpacks our club has sent so far. However, they are expecting to have around 200 children this year and would happily receive anymore that some might wish to bring in. This is a very small ministry with a big heart, and they depend greatly on the community support.

I thought you might want to let our ladies know or any neighbors that might want to get in on this outreach for our Tucker children that both J.C. Penney and Sears have sales on their children's backpacks right now. In Sears at the children's register there is a display of backpacks($28.) that are on sale for $16.80 right now along with a coupon you can request at the desk for 10% more bringing the cost to $!5.12 plus tax. J.C. Penney's has one for around $17.00 along with a discount of 15% with a Penney's card. These are nice quality and a good price.

The Breaking Down Walls Ministry is having a "Battle of the Bands" in the parking lot across from the Ace Hardware off Hugh Howell Rd. this Saturday starting around 2PM. It is to get community involved in the fund raising for this event, and they have extended a personal invitation to our club for the support that we have given them. It would be fun for those with kids and a great chance to see the extent of this ministry to so many of the needy in the Tucker area. Those interested can go on line under Breaking Down Walls Ministry for more details on Saturday's event.
