As we discussed in early 2008, we are adopting a family in Gahanna for the Christmas holiday through the GRIN [Gahanna Residents In Need] program.

Our adoptee family is a mom and her 2 sons, ages 8 and 12. Using the GRIN guidelines, I spoke with the mom by phone. For our holiday dinner gift, she selected the option of a grocery gift card she can use.

Folks,

I have definite commitments from 5 individuals to clean our mile of Hamilton Rd this coming Saturday morning, Dec.6. To make it go quickly, we need about 4 more. Remember you can bring your big kids or spouse or friend with you. It takes about an hour and we do it with teams of 2 or more taking a portion of the mile. We'll meet at the lower front parking lot of Peace Lutheran Church on Clark State Rd. at 10 AM.

Come join us for some laughs and light exercise.

Email or call me to say you'll be there.

WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY!!!!! I was afraid to hope, but am soooo glad enough Americans and especially Ohioans had the sense to vote for Barack Obama. Now the even harder part of turning our country around begins...

As for Gahanna Progressives, we will resume our meetings with Tuesday, Nov. 11, 7 PM at the Gahanna Library meeting room. That is Veterans Day. I checked and the library will be open. The plan is for a general discussion of our campaign experiences. Whether you volunteered with a specific campaign or spent time convincing friends and family on how to vote or had an interesting experience, come share!

Folks,

A reminder Gahanna Progressives will have a booth at the Flea Market this Sunday, Sept 21, 9 am-5pm. Again it will be at the high school parking lot, Hamilton Rd.

Come talk politics, learn some new facts, meet candidates and the Gahanna Obama campaign field organizer. And we may have a fun surprise for you.

See you there.

Sheryl
