GREETINGS GEMS™!

February is coming to a close and it’s time to report the results for Hope South Florida’s Shower Project  A HUGE Thank You to all–we collected 461 towels plus an even greater number of wash cloths, 36 gallon size detergent containers + 15 smaller size bottles.  Pery Canon tells us that this will cover at least the next 8 to 9 months needs.  Hope South Florida had recently added a second mobile shower.  

This was GEMS™. first time to collect for this project and so many joined in.  To those who donate $$$, we use these funds to fill in a project as we see how the in-kind donations are coming in. Because of each of you, GEMS™ is alive and thriving.

Several have asked if GEMS™ accepts $$$ donations at times other than when we are focused on a specific project.  ABSOLUTELY!  Just send a check made payable to Grace Wesleyan Church (with GEMS on the memo line).  Just drop in the offering plate with an envelope, or send to our treasurer:  Sharon Merritt 3200 Port Royale Drive  N  Apt # 808  Fort Lauderdale FL 33308-7804.  It’s tax deductible!!                      

God’s Blessings,

Barbara Timmerman

And now because March has a special day for the Irish:  (I substitute Norwegian) 

May you have:  A world of wishes at your command

                          God and the angels close to hand

                           Friends and family their love impart

                            And Irish blessings in your heart
