Rotarians Anita Linet & Beth Case helped unload soil into flowerbeds at Scissortail Elementary
Carol Hartzog organized 16 people from church to decorate 200 bags. Each bag had a construction-paper cross and Spanish scripture. They were stuffed with 5 low-sugar diabetic snacks and a hand-colored book mark with Spanish scripture. The bags were then tied up with colorful ribbon. This was done in cooperation with Crossings medical/dental clinic, which serves primarily undocumented, Hispanic diabetics. The project was to show Jesus' love in cooperation with Clinic's Pam Millington and a grant she obtained Chuck Musgrave was at Uptown where the Girl Scouts were selling cooking. After hearing about all their variety of cookies, he chose one, gave them a $20, and told them to keep the change. It was a big hit.
Later that same week at Walmart he got his cart and noticed another shopper struggling trying to get a cart from a bunch that were locked together so he gave him his cart.
Tim Richardson helped deliver 600 pounds food with his church to a local elementary school.
Hunter Cottle stopped and gave his ice scraper to a person on the roadside.
Marlon James purchased (3) $25 gift cards and gave them to individuals (high schoolers) he never met before and let them know he was paying it forward.
Les Sparks paid for someone's items at a Dollar General.
Carol Hartzog offers voluntary after school church services to kids at Central Middle School.
