Dear Friends,

Yesterday, I delivered our membership application to the Food Bank for Western Massachusetts where it was accepted.

The membership fee is $100 instead of $125.

We were reclassified from being a program that serves "the elderly" to an "emergency" program.  I'm not exactly sure why this was done, but the good news is that we will receive all of our food free-of-charge through grants from both the state and federal governments.

There will be a training session for our official shoppers at the Food Bank on Friday, October 2 from 9:00 to 10:00 AM.  CATHY AND JIM please reply to this email to let me know if you can attend.  We can send up to three people.  Among other things, you will receive an ID card which will be needed to receive food.  The Food Bank is located at 97 North Hatfield Road in Hatfield (phone 247-9738, Jill Tarr's extension is 134; she will conduct the training session.)

Jill will make a site inspection visit to our kitchen before October 17th.  I'll arrange the date and time with her and notify Cathy and Jim.

We're in good shape and getting ready to GO!

Allan
