Hello again friends,
Just a friendly reminder to register ASAP for Feed My Starving Children on November 12th.
We have many spots left, surprising after the number of people who have previously expressed interest. We will put up a few fliers around town this weekend and accept registration until Saturday, November 5th, or until all spots are filled, whichever comes first. If we have any open spots after November 5th we will release those for the public.
Feel free to pass this on to any friends or family. And as we've recently learned that each volunteer packs approximately $52 worth of food in one session, know that any donations you can make or solicit would be much appreciated on behalf of this fabulous organization which helps children across the globe.
Best,
The Wilsons
PS Here are the details from the previous email in case you missed it:
The mission of Feed My Starving Children is "Feeding God’s Starving Children Hungry in Body and Spirit." FMSC brings volunteers into their facility to pack specially formulated food for hungry children all over the world. It is such an inspiring and fun experience to be there, and to feel a part of something so good. My children have so enjoyed their experiences with uplifting music, good hard work, and the satisfaction of knowing they are helping someone in need. From the history on the FMSC website I'm so grateful to learn that this organization is growing: "In 2003 FMSC produced 3 million meals with one packing site and 17,000 volunteers. By 2010 FMSC produced over 124 million meals with 6 permanent packing sites, and a nationwide MobilePackTM program, and more than 515,000 volunteers." Volunteers are critical, and here is your chance to be one!
Wilson Family Charity has reserved all 90 spots for Saturday, November 12th from 2-4 PM at 555 Exchange Court, Aurora. Due to age requirements (see guidelines below), we will fill 5 spots with Wilsons. The first 85 of you to contact me and reserve your spots can secure the rest. Feel free to pass this message on to others, and invite your friends to come, while adhering to the child-adult ratios:
Grade 10-12: 5 students to 1 adult
Grade 7-9: 4 students to 1 adult
Grade 3-6: 3 students to 1 adult
Grade K-2: 1 student to 1 adult
In addition, we will be doing our best to cover costs of the food we pack...meaning, if you come and are able to afford it, please bring donations! And if you cannot attend but have the means to donate, please do! Find a donation flyer here: http://www.fmsc.org/document.doc?id=17, donate online here: https://www.fmsc.org/sslpage.aspx?pid=235 and or learn more on the general website for Feed My Starving Children here: http://www.fmsc.org/ Consider posting a request for donations to your facebook page, or sending an email to friends or family. Donations are tax-deductible. If you don't mind keeping track of any money you bring in and letting me know, I will be able to total it up and see if we can make the goal of covering costs.

Hello Friends,
In just over three weeks Wilson Family Charity will be hosting a session over at the remarkable Feed My Starving Children in Aurora. I know many of you are already familiar with this organization and will make the effort to join us. If you have never been and can make time for it, PLEASE come. You will be so glad that you did.
