Admit It, It Feels Good Doesn't It?

The Yes We Will Volunteers have been performing monthly community service projects since March 2009. Some of the projects have been strenuous and others less so. But the one thing they all have in common is they have also been fun.

Come on and admit, you have fun while we are doing what we do. You know you do! While sweating and grunting and pushing and pulling and sweeping and carrying, we also joke, laugh and just plain ole fellowship at times. We learned a little more about each other and we have seen each other in new ways.

Over the past few months, our members have experienced the loss of loved ones, went into surgery, endured colds and sniffles, helped kids with homework and operated a free taxi service to make sure the kids get to practice or recital or movies.

When all is said and done, we can be proud of the good work we performed. And to top it off, we also had some fun. Go ahead and admit it, it feels good, doesn't it?

Food Drive Recap, Part II

A special thanks to the following Brookland Baptist Church organizations who contributed items to our food drive for the Food Pantry.

The Sonrise Chorale
The Sanctuary Choir
The Brookland Academy
Women's Bible Study
The Young Women of Excellence
The Brookland Federal Credit Union

We even had an anonymous individual donor who contributed 122 items. (This donor had a friend who is not a member of Brookland to bring the items. This friend would not reveal who the donor was, at his request.)

September Food Drive Recap

After a month of hard work, The Yes We Will Volunteers can take pride in a great food drive. One person from the Food Pantry remarked that in her seven years with that organization, their shelves have never been as full. Because of our efforts, they have enough food items to service their clients at least until the end of the year.

Now see the cute little kids from Brooklands' Child Academy who contributed food items to this project. Awwww, isn't that sweet?
