It was another successful year for the Good Samaritan event, thanks to all of you who worked so hard to make everything go so well. We had a big rain the night before the event, which put a damper on parking. Hats off to the crew who managed that. The drivethrough group did an excellent job keeping that line moving, and getting people in and out.
The desserts were super! Once again, thank you to the ladies who baked the cakes, you did an outstanding job.
Kudos to the volunteer team that boxed the dinners with flatware, bread and butter. That system worked so smoothly. We had quite the assembly line set up. Boxing 550 meals with untensils in 30 minutes shows how teams can work together to work magic.
Together with the auction, 50/50 drawing, sponsors and dinner sales, we raised more than $22,000 to support residents in need. I can’t tell you what a difference this makes to the lives of our seniors.You have no idea, but I bet you can imagine. You all have made a direct positive impact larger than can be measured in dollars and cents.
Thank you for everything that you do to support this mission.You, and all those who helped make this event possible (buyers, donors, businesses, sponsors, diners, bakers, students, parking attendants, stair runners and more). Fort Scott is a great town to live and work in and we are surrounded by people who truly care for others and show that in their walk. God bless you and thank you.
