Let's try it again!
What happened?

According to Vicky Sabol of the Waterville Area Food Pantry,
" It seems that the boys were unable to put out bags and reminders as planned.  They did that today (Saturday) for the houses where there was no food out -- which was most.  So, they're going to pick up food next Saturday, the 14th.   Don't want people to think they're being asked for food two weeks in a row, but do want the scouts to have a more successful food drive."

And a reminder ...
