In Case You Missed Us

Frisco Fast Pacs wants to ensure that no child in Frisco has to endure hunger when school is not in session. Caring for kids, one pack at a time. Every week throughout the school year, we deliver individual pre-packed bags to FISD schools that include enough food for 7 meals for each qualifying child for them to eat over the weekend at home.  They began in 2013 with 1 school and 32 kids; currently they are in 42 Frisco ISD schools and are feeding close to 700 children.  Our Club plans to have a packing day project in early 2018; stay tuned for more details.  If you desire to donate or help this organization, check them out at:  friscofastpacs.org 

 

Last Saturday a group of members met at Sunbelt Plastics, our flag storage warehouse, to repair and replace about 100 flags.  These flags are deployed at local parks for national holidays and have to be replaced periodically due to the wear and tear they receive from the weather.  Thank you to Steve Weible for leading this effort and to Ted Barrett, Art Bourgeault, Al Brewster, Bernie Gillette, Glenn Hunihan, Jim Jensen, Chris Johnson, Mike Simpson, Ronan and Stefanie Wagoner and Mike Yarborogh for your time in keeping this important community service functioning smoothly.  

 

Preparations for the Community Parade float are being coordinated by Jon Kendall and Rene McGruder, in conjunction with our Interact members.  Last Thursday there was a planning session to finalize the float design and to develop a plan of attack.  Join us this Thursday at 6 pm at the home of Jon Kendall, to build the float.
