The Tag Project at Pioneer Ocean View United Church August 2, 2009

UPDATE

We had a wonderful tag event on Sunday at the Pioneer Ocean View United Church of Christ. The volunteers there completed 5,000 tags!!!!! this included tying the ends of the tags, stamping the text, writing the names- with a few important volunteers organizing and categorizing the tags. The goal of 5,000 tags were reached!!
AND the chicken teriyaki bowls were really great!! Many thanks to the membership of POVUCC for hosting us and to the Fujinami family for planning and organizing the logistics there!


**************

There will be a delicious chicken teriyaki bowl lunch ($6.00) beginning right after worship at approx. 11:15am (Everyone is invited to attend the worship service at 10:00am). The Tag Project will begin after everyone finishes eating at approx. 12pm.

Please RSVP to Coreen Fujinami (858) 414-2269 or povucc@sbcglobal.net for any questions and/or to let us know they're coming; especially to reserve a chicken teriyaki bowl (headcount is very important for the ladies cooking!)
