Next week Friday--I'm there with my "bin" to collect whatever you bring for St. Anthony's Kitchen. Just to remind you, we are feeding lunch to about 130 people 5 days a week, breakfast to 40 kids on the way to school and sticking our nose into the lives of the folks who are are patrons. We also sponsor (thank you Franciscan Friars in Western Cananda and Cincinnati and Rotary Club of Negril) 40 children in our Get Kids to School Programme. And there is more--even a thrift shop, Anthony's Annex--and, well, we run a school bus too! We don't do a pub crawl on the bus--just to school--but maybe I can give Lenbert some competition at night and on the weekends. Rob was kind to acknowledge our work in the community and invite us to benefit from the Boardie Bash. Everything we do depends on the kindness of others. When you come to the Boardie Bash carry something along: clothes (adult or children), school supplies, flip-flops, a back pack (for a kid for school), kitchen supplies, food (we go through alot of rice and peas), $$$$$$$$$. We can handle JMD, USD, CAN, whatever! Make checks payable to Franciscan Friars (Mary Gate of Heaven will work too). As for a full bin--not to worry! Mary Gate of Heaven Church is right across the street from Coco La Palm--and couple doors away from the Wild Parrot--AND, we have a pick-up truck! And remember, "God loves a cheerful giver!" --Fr. Jim
