Greetings in the name of our Lord,
Talked to Joan Brown Yesterday and they are waiting the final inspection from the Fire Marshall before they can open the refurbished cottage for children. She said that the Fire Marshall said she would be back in 20 days. So Joan is still waiting in this slow process of inspections. Ever thing else is ready. Joan is ready to bring in children when she gets the final OK.
I also want to remind you that Joan Brown will be at our Regional Mission Conference on April 25th & 26th at Cherry Hills BC, Springfield. Please sign-up for the Mission Conference, come and meet Joan Brown Director of Murrow Indian children's Home.
We will be collecting at that time for Joan to take back with her the following items: Gift Cards from Wal-mart, paper plates, Paper cups, paper towels, napkins, toilet paper and copy paper.
In His Service,
Jack Smith
