Penny Harvest donates to FWCTS

Students at Fort White Middle School took matters into their own hands with a project called Penny Harvest. They collected over a hundred thousand pennies and four of their chosen leader students brought their personally involved experiences to bear as they chose four local charities from a group of charities with whom they had became directly involved, to share in the proceeds of their efforts.

At a school board meeting at Fort White Middle School Tuesday evening, the details of the program were explained to the board, all of whom were quite impressed. One of the four charities selected to receive a check for $250 was the Fort White Community Thrift Shop and Sadie Wilbur, student, presented this very meaningful donation to Betty M. Bush, Treasurer.

Volunteer Meeting

This afternoon's Volunteer Meeting was a bright and warm one with plenty of information to spare. The many missions in which FWCTS is involved were reviewed, including a discussion of some of the details surrounding the efforts with helping people in the Gainesville area's "Tent City". Also discussed was the current need for more volunteers, so, if you are interested in helping out, please stop by and let us know.

Lamar Moseley represented the Florida Farm Bureau as he is seen here handing a check to FWCTS Treasurer, Betty M. Bush.

Of course, Lamar and crew were also quite capably handling the serving up of some outstanding fried catfish for the volunteers to enjoy after the meeting.
