Chris is participating in a holiday lunch for the poor on the Thanksgiving
long weekend, and asked if JAGNUTS might want to participate.  Chris
indicated the time commitment is approximately an hour on Saturday, October
7th.  Lynn and I volunteered (actually Lynn volunteered me), and if anyone
else is interested, let Chris know either by phone or email.  Here's the
scoop:

WHY:              Thanksgiving is a time of rejoicing, thanking God for the
blessings He has given us.   Many of us are more blessed than others and we
want to share those blessings with those around us.  For many of our
low-income families here in Regina, this will be the only Thanksgiving meal
they receive.

* His Worship Mayor Pat Fiacco takes time out to help feed Regina's less
fortunate.  He has not missed one holiday meal for the poor yet!

Sperling,owner of La Bodega are providing meals for up to 1000 men, women,
and children!  This is the fifth meal they have partnered with us.

been down and out and now serve full-time with the Mission.
