Conitued Support For Curtis Long

Stephanie Crichton would like the BFSC Community to continue supporting Curtis and Myles another week with food. Please let Stephanie know if you would like to help for the week of October 3 and October 10.

We would like to give a Big Thank You to Stephanie Tamplin Crichton for organizing food support for Curtis Long and his son Myles during their mourning period. Please let her know on the bike ride.

And also to our BFSC friends who have contributed food, gift cards and donations for Curtis and Myles in memory of his wife.

 We are hoping that people will continue to volunteer to help provide them with food and/or gift certificates (they can be generic gift cards or to local Beaches’ restaurants). This will allow them to worry about one less thing.

Curtis is very appreciative and would like to Thank everyone who has helped with gifts and prayers. Curtis said this outreach has been very helpful and he and Myles gets resettled with their lives.

If you are interested in helping with meals, please contact Stephanie Tamplin @ 472-9654 or Tamplin@Comcast.net.

Stephanie will organize a calendar to space out food over the next couple of weeks.

We would like to continue providing food though Sunday, October 16

Also, if you have a condolence card, a check/cash donation for Palmer Catholic Academy Gymnasium Fund or food, it can be dropped off at Stephanie & Sean Crichton’s house (Orange H20 cooler house) at the corner of 33^rd Ave S & 1^st ST or at Bike Fitters with Ralph Teten. Stephanie and Ralph will delivery our support to Curtis.

You can also give your Gymnasium Fund money to Walter Campbell or Robert Buck. We will collect money though October 9^th. Then we will present to Curtis the lump sum under our Beaches cycling community name - Beaches First Street Cycling.
