The bitter cold has set in, and the local homeless shelters need our help now more than at any other time of year. So please join us on Monday night for Deuteri Deutera...
*Feburary Sandwich-Making: Monday, 2/7 at 7:30pm*
Due to the second Monday in February falling on Valentine's Day, we will instead meet for February's Deuteri Deutera -- our monthly charity event of sandwich-making for the homeless -- the Monday prior, which is this Monday, 2/7, at 7:30pm in the kitchen of the Meletis-Charuhas Center.
The sandwiches that we make will be delivered to the Bailey's Crossroads Shelter in Falls Church that same evening. The shelter is thankful to receive our help each month, especially during the winter, when more local men and women are there and in need of an evening meal.
Please bring loaves of sandwich bread and packages of deli meats and cheeses in the right amounts to ensure that we do not have any leftovers of bread and meat. The ratio is 2 slices of meat per sandwich, or one slice of meat and one slice of cheese per sandwich. If you don't have time to go to the grocery store beforehand, or cannot attend this event but would like to make a cash contribution to this worthy cause, please email Helen Spanos at [email protected] by 3:00pm that Monday, and Helen will purchase the meat and bread on your behalf.
As always, after sandwich-making, we will go to a local restaurant for dinner.
We look forward to seeing you on Monday, and we hope that your 2011 is off to a wonderful start!
May God bless you with His love and forever keep you in His grace.
