Around here, things are getting busy as we gear up for the Picnic in the Park, our annual Fourth of July celebration with our friends who hang out in the park – many of whom do not have homes or are very poor.
I am posting below the things we need: This list will be updated daily as offers of things roll in. If it is not on this list, we probably have it covered. If you want to help with something on the list, just tell us in the comments and someone will email you back.
The list: updated 6-26-2009
500 all beef Hot Dogs

Hugh,
did you get my message?? Tom and I will be there and will bring 15lbs of baked beans.
Dana
I will bring 50 hot dog buns. Looking forward to it!
Also look forward to talking to you about the soup kitchen I run downtown on Saturdays which isn’t on your list of homeless resources. Also I work at the OpenDoor Clinic (Urban Ministries) and I’ll update you about which patients we can serve and our correct clinic hours. Thanks!
We will bring three pints of Pickle Relish and 600 – 12 oz cups to the Herbs before noon on Saturday, 7/4. Will this work?
Hugh and Renee,
If you still need hot dog buns, I can bring the remaining 150 on the list.
If these are already being supplied, I could bring the cups or lemonade mix.
Just let me know which you need most urgently.
Looking forward to it….
Stan
PS: I’m glad Renee is doing better and hope the visit with the specialist goes well.
Hugh,
I have 2 5-gallon igloo-type coolers you can borrow for the picnic.
Other than that, it looks like you just need watermelons. Is that true?

We can provide the remaining watermelons still needed. Fourteen?
