MR Drivers brave hot weekend for good results

MR Drive chairman Steve Reker reports that this weekend's MR drive went well, raising more than $2,500 from Friday to Sunday. Several brothers donated time at Wal Marts all over town to collect funds to support three local charities that help people with mental disabilities--Orange Grove Center, Signal Centers and AzUwer. Council 6099 was third in the state for raising MR funds this year (out of 82 councils!). Help us do better in the next fraternal year! Volunteer a couple of hours of your time to "shake the jug" at a local retailer when asked.

Speaking of volunteering, now is your chance to sign up for the last MR event of this fraternal year, next Saturday, June 14 at Sam's Club on Lee Highway. Email Steve Reker to sign up.

ONLINE OPPORTUNITY: You can't shake the jug? Contribute online! It's easy and it only takes a credit card and 2 minutes to help. CLICK HERE to give online at our council's FirstGiving page. Check out the box under Holy Family Favorites to see how close we are to our goal.
