GRIN serves the Gahanna community, providing food, clothing, & emergency assistance all year... not just during the holidays. It was announced during the 10/11 services at Mifflin Presbyterian Church that there has been an increase in requests for assistance from GRIN of 30% over last year. GRIN is not affiliated with Mifflin or the Presbyterian Church. Mifflin simply donates office services. Please consider donating food or sending a check to GRIN, c/o Mifflin Presbyterian Church, 123 Granville ST, Gahanna, OH 43230.

Friends,

This is the first Gahanna Progressives message sent from our website. It is a newsletter format with no set frequency at this point.
You will be able to read all the newsletters on the website if you just create an account for yourself. It only requires an email address and a password to begin. The website is: http://gahannaprogressives.org.

The newsletters are beginning now due to the efforts of Stephen Renner to get our email addresses into the proper format for newsletters to be our main means of contacting members. Thanks, Stephen.

LINKS -
New links have been added to the website today for Ohio Majority Radio, the Ed Schultz show, the Stephanie Miller show and Chicago's Progressive Radio station, 820 AM. These are all ways you can listen to progressive radio via the internet for free. Until we once again have a local progressive radio station, these links may help keep you up on what liberal talk radio is addressing.
