This is Good News - Treasure Food Boxes!
http://www.thetreasurebox.org The Treasure Box provides local families and individuals with a great tool to assist in stretching monthly food budgets – a pre-assembled box of popular and nutritious grocery food items worth between $65-100 that can be purchased for only $30. Each box contains 21-25 pounds of high quality, frozen foods including chicken, pork, beef or seafood, in addition to vegetables, fruit, a side dish and a dessert.
Now that’s a great way to stretch your budget! And anyone can order –tell your family, friends and neighbors.

YAHOOOOO!
You have probably all noticed that purple box at the bottom of any email I send you. It’s directing you to the FosterCareAux Yahoo Groups site. http://groups.yahoo.com/
You will continue to get the newsletter emailed to you, but in 2010 all other mass correspondence that goes out to our Foster Care Auxiliary Group will be posted to this group site and you will be notified (if you choose) of the posting. This will make things much easier, and you’ll always know where to find the information!
