Good News From NC

Hey everyone, I wanted to tell you a little about some of the work that's being done for the Friends Center up here in NC - specifically, work that's being done by some kids here. The fourth grade class at High Point Friends School, taught by Mary Porter, started a pen pal project with the After School Program at the center late last year, and the kids were really excited about it. Recently, that fourth grade class along with some of the other elementary classes have been working on a service project: to raise money for the center by donating spare change.

This past Monday, I was able to visit the school and receive their gift of nearly $400! I was amazed at their generosity and interest in the center as I showed them some pictures and spoke a little about the After School Program and the kids. I know that their gift will be a blessing to many!

Oh, and if you were wondering how heavy nearly $400 worth of change might be, the answer is 80+ pounds, by my estimation... haha.
