The 2008 Annual MDS of Colorado meeting is scheduled for Saturday, May 17th. Time is set for 10:00 a.m. We will be meeting at Bethel Mennonite in Colorado Springs. PLEASE encourage people to participate. And let us know it you would be interested in morning latte’s? They would be part of a Bethel youth fundraiser.
The Bethel youth are doing a chicken BBQ fundraiser that day, and will be selling to the public around noon. We have been invited to reserve portions for any of our group interested. So let’s help the youth, and send in our orders in advance. Latte’s too?
With this in mind we ask that you let us know if you plan to attend, and especially if you wish to purchase some of their finger-lickin chickin. We suggest each contact person keep track of the people planning to attend whom they contact, then call either Jeanette Martin, Administrative Assistant at Bethel Mennonite, at (719) 636-2716. Or call me, Verni Diller at (719) 783-2832 (have voicemail), or e-mail me at vernidiller@aol.com. Order deadline preferably before Saturday, May 10.

MDS volunteers are known for repairing and rebuilding homes damaged by disasters. But it takes more than construction skills to serve with MDS. During the time that you serve as a volunteer, you will learn that MDS also restores lives.
Your contribution will help to connect volunteers with disaster survivors who need assistance on their path to recovery. MDS depends on the support of people who believe that disaster response is an important part of helping those who are in need.
