Ruch Gift Exchange Benefit ---Thanks for your Giving!

Today's Gift Exchange was a benefit for a community member whose Landscaping tools, used in his business, were destroyed this past Tuesday in a fire that consumed the garage they were stored in.

A special thanks to Chris Beekman for Gifting the use of his property and to baker extraordinaire Jo Ferneau for providing his award winning loaves.

Some of the Gifted Items included:

• 2 weed wackers
• a chainsaw
• a worm-drive saw
• a shovel
• a rake
• a personal check
• other useful tools and odds and ends
• fresh roasted Sumatra Mandheling coffee beans

Thanks to all who participated! Your Gifts are grately appreciated.

We are interested in having an ongoing Gift Exchange for those in need. If
anyone knows of someone who has recently experienced a hardship of any kind please contact Asher, (541) 899-0111, for a special benefit possibility.
