Thanksgiving help needed (11/13/2008)
Letters to the Editor
To the editor:
Thanksgiving Day is quickly approaching and the committee for the 18th Annual Community Thanksgiving Dinner is busily making preparations for serving a hearty festive meal to hundreds of individuals. Around the tables at Asbury Church there will be individuals and families who are unable to commute to a family gathering; some with financial challenges and unable to prepare the traditional meal for their family; and there will also be many people who attend this community event simply for the fun, fellowship, and the delicious food it offers.
In addition to the meal and the opportunity to gather with others, there will again be a variety of door prizes and gift certificates to various local businesses. Our hope is to provide a bit of enjoyment and to give the home budget some relief even after the holidays are over.
As always, we are looking forward to including the homebound in this holiday tradition by furnishing double portions of food to carry them through a long weekend. If you are homebound, we have many drivers standing by who are anxious to deliver a traditional meal to your home. Please call either the Asbury U. M. Church at (260) 726-8464 or Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church at (260) 726-8832 (mornings) with your request. If you choose to brighten the day of homebound individuals by joining them for dinner, feel free to stop by Asbury for the number of carryout meals you will need.
If you have your own holiday tradition with your family but would like to lend a hand, please feel free to make an extra dish (in a disposable container, please) and drop it off at Asbury as you travel to your gathering. Any dish is welcome, but vegetables are especially needed.
Or, if you want to spend an hour or two assisting as needed, we invite you to stop by at your convenience.
Help is always needed in homebound preparation (9-11 a.m.), homebound delivery (11-noon), serving the dinner and drinks in the Fellowship Hall (at 1 p.m.), and the clean-up (between 3:30-5:30 p.m.).
The welcome mat is out to the entire Jay community. We encourage all of you to join us for this heartwarming day. Even if you cannot be a part of this celebration, we hope your family shares a bountiful holiday of peace, joy, and serenity.

To the editor:
Cub Scout Pack 3202 recently had its Halloween Party.
During the festivities, we held drawings for door prizes which local merchants graciously donated.
No scout went home empty handed.
For their donations we would like to thank: Vore's Welding and Steel; Patriot Bushi-Kai Karate; Judan Judo (Brad and Vicki Daniels); Arby's; Bandido's; Burger King, Movie Gallery; Coca-Cola Bottling; Super 8 Motel; Hoosier Inn; Wal-Mart; Kate's Coffee Shop; Ritz Theatre; Pizza Hut, Ponderosa; Taco Bell and Tyson Mexican Original.
We would like to thank the following for extra help in the success of this function: Hickory Grove Church and Pastor Earl Dull, Richard Eglan, Gary Hart, Sue and Rodger McBride, and Shelly Eldridge.
A special thank you goes out to Steve and April Ludy for opening up their home and barn to host the pack Halloween party. It was a lot of fun and without the joint effort and kindness put forth from everyone involved, this would not have been such a success.
Our heartfelt appreciation goes out to all.
