Just a reminder of our volunteer outing at Circle R Ranch with Love for Kids on December 8th. We will car pool from SAMs at George Bush and Coit. Be there by 8:00 am and we'll caravan out to Circle R. It is 7.5 miles west of I-35 on Main/ 1171 ( exit 452).
Let me know by e-mail whether you will caravan or go direct.
You also will need to go to the web site to sign up. Loveforkidsinc.org This is a new requirement this year so they know who is coming.
See you Dec 8th at 8:00 am at SAMs or at 9:00 at Circle R. Thanks for your support.
