As with many programs these days, V.I.S.I.O.N., the shelter program which services homeless men, has been notified that their 2010/2011 funding has been reduced. In order to offset this funding cut, they are participating in a promotion sponsored by Boscov’s. For $5 you can purchase a 25% off shopping pass good on October 5. All checks should be made to VISION for the ticket sales. When you go shopping, please tear off the bottom portion and drop it in the Friends Helping Friends Ballot Box. The agency selling the most tickets will be awarded a prize.
In the same region there were some shepherds staying out in the fields and keeping watch over their flock at night. And an angel of the Lord suddenly stood near them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were terribly frightened. And so the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. — Luke 2:8-11 (NASV)
