Harvest of Soups big hit
The Horizon’s group that is working on the Youth Center/Boys and Girls Club held a Harvest of Soups December 15 over the noon hour. Erin Odens gave a presentation about the findings and survey results they gathered with their work on the youth center. The group has traveled to Avon and Tyndall looking at their facilities and trying to determine what would be best for the Scotland community. It was suggested that they may be a little bit of a combination of the two.
Businesses were asked to donate soup for the cause. There were 18 crock pots of soup with just about that many different kind of soups to choose from. For their first venture, the group did very well receiving about $1000 in freewill donations. It was decided that this type of fund raiser may be done again in the early spring.
It was a learning experience for the group and more results will be seen in the near future!

Good luck in your Boys and Girls Club venture! These things take lots of work and hours of volunteer time. Ask our Cavalier Corner Board! It’s great when you can get the kids involved too, and they have a sense of ownership.

We are senior citizens who love soup kitchens. If we are aware of a soup kitchen in a neighboring town we almost always go. There can’t be too many soup kitchens for us. Next time you have one, get the word out to Tyndall so we can come.
