Suggested (Pumkin Run)

Subject: Suggested (Pumkin Run) Mon Mar 24, 2008 9:34 am

With the coming of the Halloween and Thanksgiving holidays, it would be nice to have an MTRA community event for those that may be less fortunate this season. I would like to see a Pumkin and Canned Food drive put together. We can create and distribute food baskets and pumkins to other households and various church organization during this coming season so that others can benefit and have a great meal.

Roundup the usual thanksgiving meal items, a few extra cans on your grocery shopping days and start putting together baskets/boxes of non perishable goods for distribution. Ask your local foodbanks if they are in need this season, as well your local perishes. Being we are of so few numbers in memberships, pass the idea along to your friends, family, and co-workers and see what kind of response we can get.

Another idea would be to take a child to a pumpkin field and let them choose a pumpkin and decorate it for their own. There are plenty of farm fields that offer this type of activity usually with hay rides, and cornfield mazes, games, etc. Check your areas for such locations and take some kids "Pickin"..

We can also do this as an MTRA Family event as apposed to a charity run...make a day of it with the Famiies and maybe have a BBQ following, etc.

Let me know what you come up with... jocolor
