Hunger Walk - Final update

---------- Forwarded message ----------

Subject: Final update
Dear Hunger Walkers.--
The week of the walk is here—time for "calling in the sheep".  Please try to make arrangements for your pledgers to give you their actual pledge check this week, (made out to HCHC) or at church on this Sunday. I will hang out at coffee hour on Sunday to take your envelopes containing your pledges. If you can't turn it in Sunday, let me know and we will try to make other arrangements, but it would be really good to complete the process this Sunday, the day after the walk.
On Saturday, we will all "Congregate" at Shelter #1 in Jackson Park beginning about 7:30 and will plan to start walking about 8:00. Remember to wear your First Congregational t-shirt. You will be offered a Hunger Walk t-shirt that morning and I suggest you just put that one in your car...but let's all try to wear our First Congregational shirts.
At the registration table (Shelter 1) you will be asked to fill out a short registration form. I have attached a copy of that form should you wish to clip it out and complete it before you arrive. You may be asked to turn in your pledges, but DO NOT. Simply tell the person you are turning your envelope in at church.
I am sure this will be fun and from what walkers are telling me I am certain we will be proud of the total we will be able to contribute to The Hunger Coalition. Thanks again and I look forward to walking with you—Roy

This coming Sunday , Sept 18, is the last Sunday before our walk.

Dear Hunger Walkers
This coming Sunday , Sept 18, is the last Sunday before our walk. Also, Bev will be running our announcement appealing for pledges with all your names on it. SO…… Go thou and seek pledges—be “ assertive”  and work for the cause to reduce hunger in our community.
On the matter of turning in your collection envelopes—Again I repeat, please turn them in to me so I can present totals to our congregation. I just discovered I will be gone starting  Sunday, Oct 3 and be gone for four Sundays (visits to son and daughter) SO…. It would be very helpful if you could turn in your completed envelopes (ALL PLEDGES IN) on Sunday, Sept. 25, the day after the walk. I will hang around quite a while during coffee hour that day in case you have some last minute collections to make. If you cannot turn it in that day we will make some other arrangement but it would be very helpful to have it that day. Incidentally, checks can be made out to HCHC  (Henderson County Hunger Coalition) and that might simplify things a bit.
If any of you still need a FCC t-shirt contact Mark Fagerlin.
Again, I thank you all for your participation and I look forward to walking with you on Sat., Sept 24
Roy Harris
