November 5th will be the Stop Hunger Now food packaging event at CVR. Gordon passed around the shift sign up sheet.  Monmouth County Clubs need to provide 40-80 people per middle shift.  Volunteer shifts are set up 730-9a (contact Ken Scaggs) 9-11a and 1130-130 and clean up 1:30-done.  Even if you can’t volunteer, a donation of $29 will make 100 meals possible for children in orphanages.  The donations will be given to orphanages that associated with a school.  Research has shown (seem like common sense as well) that children learn better when hunger isn’t the first thing on their mind.  If you sign up on the sheet, Gordon will register you on the website.  If you want to register yourself and/or donate the website is events.stophungernow.org\eatontownnj
