GMS Community:
I want to report back on our trip to Paul’s Place with
our Eighth Grade. It was very successful. It was a success
to a great extent because of the gifts that you so
graciously donated. We stuffed the two cars we had
designated for donation and still had more gifts, so we had
to put them into other cars. It was so wonderful and we
thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You should have
seen the people at Paul’s Place when donations kept
coming out of our vehicles. Because of your kind donations,
you all have made the lives of a lot of folks who need help
a bit easier. The staff at Paul’s Place would like to
thank all of you for your generous giving especially in this
time of need as the weather gets colder. They said that we
must come from a “blessed community”. I told
them that we do. I know I can always count on you when help
is needed. This is one of the reasons I feel privileged to
work here.
Our students were amazing. We had students helping with job
searches on computers, serving in the kitchen, and helping
women and children pick out clothes. The stories they came
back with were very touching. You would have all been proud
of them. I know that I was. The staff at Paul’s Place
always tells me that they look forward to our students
serving because they all come with a positive attitude and
are willing to do whatever is asked of them. They treat
everyone with kindness which is why they fit in so well with
the philosophy of Paul’s Place.
Again thanks to all of you for making our serving a huge
success on many levels.
Peace,
Mr.
Fletcher
