Murray Newsletter - August 20, 2014

2014-08-20 man_Hammock 

You know you've reached middle-age when.....

a doctor, not a policeman, tells you to slow down,

when all you exercise are your prerogatives

and it takes you a lot longer to rest than it does to get tired!

SCHWAN'S ICE CREAM FUNDRAISER

 

The Murray Presbyterian Deacons, under the name of "Mighty Murray Small Church", are raising funds to be donated to the Lori Williams family of Murray, NE.  Lori was paralyzed due to an accident several months ago and now her family is under mounting financial stress.  Lori's family  will receive 20% of orders starting August 18 through October 2, 2014  and, after October 2, will receive 5% for one year.  

To order online, you must enter www.schwans-cares.com/f/32144 .  Go to 'Shop Now' and an online catalog, with the name 'Sherrill Konfrst', (church deacon),  will be presented to you.   

If you would like to place your order over the phone, please call
1-855-870-7208 and use fundraiser ID # 32144.    

If you live in the U.S. and have local Schwan's delivery, you may participate in this worthy cause.  A Schwan's delivery person will deliver your products directly to your home and you'll be helping Lori and her family!  Feel free to forward this to your friends across the country! 

Please direct any questions you might have to Sherrill at 402-235-2844. 

Thank you for your support!
