[from Joe Martin]
Shirley Saunders, who chairs the Senior Citizens Club of the 1200 Block of Shepherd Street NW, asked me to let people know the Club is looking for donations for the Thanksgiving Day Project.
The Project, now in its 14th year, prepares food baskets for over 30 needy families and seniors in our neighborhood. Please consider donating what you can to the effort.
Shirley Saunders leads this effort notwithstanding her limited mobility caused by a stroke in 2002. She's a familiar presence and powerful voice at ANC 4C meetings. I am impressed with her dedication, effective leadership and inspiring drive.
For more information, call Shirley Saunders directly at 202-545-0118.
Her address is:
1229 Shepherd Street NW
Washington, DC 20011
Thanks for your consideration.
Shirley told me this week she needs canned goods (vegetables) and bags of sugar, rice and flour. Items may be left on her porch. My thought: But what about those squirrels!
