Bill Anttila wrote: The Weekend Brown Bag School Lunch Program concluded this week. Over 1,000 bags were packed this school year since October. I wish to thank Dawn Cooper and Theresa Slavkovsky at FAN for support of food for the program. I also wish to thank the follow- ing school secretaries for distribution of the bags at school each week: Shannon Beutler, elementary school; Connie Neilson and Mary Lesowske, middle school; and Ruth Barrios at the high school. Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church, ministered by Ron Gregg, hosted the facilities to house and pack the brown bags. Church members Caryl Gibson, Russ and Nancy Williams, and Joanne and Bill Anttila packed the bags each week. The program could not be successful without all those mentioned. The pro- gram is all-volunteer, and costs involved are only for the purchase of food. A tax- deductible cash donation can be made to the Sisters FAN office for next school- years9 supplies. Mention the donation is for the Brown Bag School Lunch Program.
