Rotary Christmas Tree Project:
Last year Oak Grove Church responded 100% to the appeal for The 2008 Rotary Christmas project. We have been asked to support the project again this year. In the vestibule are tags for children, 15 years of age and younger, whose families are in need of help at Christmas time. Please take a tag/s and follow the directions. If you wish to make a monetary donation please make the check payable to the Oakland Rotary Club.
On December 8th the gifts, unwrapped with tags attached, will be transported from the church to the distribution center. There, they will be sorted, two $25.00 grocery gift certificates enclosed and packaged for delivery by Rotarians and helpers on December 12th. Senior citizens in need also receive grocery gift certificates.
The Carmack’s legs are mature legs. If any young person with good legs is willing to help deliver Christmas packages, Saturday morning, December 12th please let Jim or Shelby know. It would be appreciated. Any questions or volunteers contact us at 301-387-5862 or see us in church.
THANK YOU from Jim & Shelby Carmack
