Our recent newsletter included a form on which we asked readers to update their contact information for us. If you did not receive the newsletter and would like to read it, please download it here. As for the form, click here for a two-page PDF file that you can slip in the mail to us or fax back to 704-333-5947.

Why the request? We're preparing for the day, hopefully later this year, when we will have a single set of records of addresses and e-mails and phone numbers for the thousands of people who make Friendship Trays possible. Those records now reside in four or more places, and some of the records are, um, more up to date than others! True story: Just got off the phone with a widow who said her husband, who volunteered for Friendship Trays, had been dead for five years, and we'd better try some method of communication other than postal mail if we wanted to reach him.

We cherish everyone's good humor and patience as we work to update our information. Here's the form. And here's the newsletter. And thanks for all you do for your meals-on-wheels program.
