Friendship Trays News
5 volunteers win gas cards in drawing

  We love our volunteers, and so does one of our anonymous donors. A donor in January gave $100 for the sole purpose of helping defray gasoline costs borne by volunteers who deliver Friendship Trays. So for Valentine's Day, we had a drawing for gas cards. A second donor kicked in $25 to allow us to award five $25 cards.
   On Valentine's, all the entry slips were put in a huge stainless steel bowl and volunteers helped pick the winning slips.
   And the winners are:
 
    -- Cindy Arnold, part of a team from Amdocs Inc. that delivers on Route 26.

    -- Luther Jarrell, who began driving in 1996. He and his wife now come in every Tuesday and Thursday to substitute on open routes.

   --  Ann Nichols, who drives monthly as part of the Ascension Lutheran Church team that drives Route 8.

   -- Elaine Owens, who drives monthly for St. Gabriel Catholic Church on Route 16.

   -- Francis Price, part of the Shepherd's Center team that drives Route 7.

   Thanks to the volunteers who entered the drawing. And thanks to every Friendship Trays volunteer for what you do for our recipients day in and day out!
