THE SCOOP
Page 2
Instructions Mix all ingredients except for
meatballs in crock pot.
Add meatballs and stir to coat them well. Put in crock pot on
LOW for 6-8 hours or HIGH for 2
-2½ hours.
Notes Note: If you have a newer crock
pot, you can probably reduce the
cooking time some.
Wal-mart has approved a grant for us and will be giving us money to purchase a new flat screen TV. After this is all completed we can get back to getting decorations up. Thank you for your patience. SAFE HOUSE NEEDS Betty Jo Embry volunteers her time at the Safe House in Wichita. They offer warm meals and backpacks to homeless children in the Wichita area. They are needing some toiletry items such as deodorant, soaps, and shampoos for either boys or girls. If you would like to donate you can drop them off at the Center.
REMINDERS (VERY IMPORTANT) Just a friendly reminder to make sure that every time you attend a program or class at the Center that you are checking in on the comput-er. If you do not have your card you can use your phone number. If you have problems let me know and I will help you. Also if you need a card, please let me know. UPDATING You may start to notice a few changes at the Center. We are working towards getting new chairs and this means we need to sell the oth-ers. We will be doing this slowly. Also the main TV is broken and not worth the money to fix so we will be getting rid of this as well.
