HANDS, Helping Achieve New Directions through Students, met on Thursday, October 16 at Brownstone on State in South Whitley. The meeting started with an ice breaker. Money for raffle tickets already sold was handed in. The remaining raffle tickets are still available for purchase from HANDS members or at the Community Foundation until November 11. The drawing will take place November 12, 2008. Three Jefferson Pointe Gift Cards will be the prizes for winners of the raffle.
Passages, Inc. asked for volunteers from the HANDS members to help with one of their ‘Dream Weavers’ projects. The schedules for Littlest Philanthropist Day (November) and HeadStart Christmas Party (December) were reviewed for any necessary changes. With that being done, the rest of the meeting was involved with reviewing thirteen grant requests from the community.
