FELLOWSHIP: Robin fined everyone who did not wash their car or cleaned leaves and anyone not at the YSU game over the weekend. She did VERY well!!!
Attendance at today's meeting made Gary's heart go "pitter-pat" - wants to shoot for 100%.
PONDERISM: The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement.
PROGRAM: Captain Patricia Musgrove spoke to us about the history of the Salvation Army.
Patricia came to the Army thru Ivan, her husband. A wife works with her husband in the Army and does not get paid. The Salvation Army has for years been the number one charity with the largest percentage of donations going directly to the cause. Approximately 95-97% is given to the poor in one way or another through their service.
In 1865, William Booth left the Methodist ministry to preach as an independent evangelist in the slums of London's East End.
The Salvation Army now serves people in over 100 countries and programs are varied to meet the needs of many different people.
The kettles were started in 1891 in California when an officer saw a need for a community meal at Christmas time. Remembering that he saw a caldron setup at a ferry in England, to collect money for the poor, he used the same method to raise the money for food.
Whenever disaster strikes, the Salvation Army is there with mobile canteens to bring food, clothing, blankets and medical supplies.
