TRAGEDY HAS STRUCK ONE OF THE FAMILIES IN OUR CLUB The Harris family's house burned to the ground on Aug. 22. You probably saw it on the news. Kristen Harris plays on our U10 girls team. Her mother, Mandy, is the assistant coach. They have lost everything. They have no clothes, no shoes, no school supplies; the things you need and take for granted are all gone. They are safe. Their dog is safe, though their kitten is unaccounted for. They need what you can give. I will learn shoe sizes and clothes sizes and pass those along. I have extra back packs and uniforms, but if you have extra school supplies - notebooks, paper, pencils, rulers, scissors, etc., please let me know. They will need pet supplies - leash and pet food. Bad things do happen to good people. Other good people step up and help. Please offer what you can. Please email or call Alan Blinzler with what you can spare. |
