July BOT Meeting Agenda

Due to COVID-19 the 2020 Crusade for Children was rescheduled for for the first  weekend in August. It is also going to look a little different. Unfortunately in order to help reduce the spread of the virus changes to our collection efforts have had to be made. We will likely not be doing any road blocks or door-to-door collections.

We are going to need your help if we are going to hit our goals! We have several new ideas in the works but the easiest way to donate is going to be electronically. 

Make sure to credit Fern Creek when you make your donations so we can be #1 again this year!

NFPA Fire and Life Safety Checklist

The past six weeks have been a very difficult struggle for so many people in our community. During this time, the amount of support and generosity we have seen, has been nothing short of astonishing. We have been provided with food nearly every day since the start. Boxes of handmade masks were given to us when our supplies ran short. People have dropped off cases of water, sent cards, and even offered to buy our groceries. There are simply too many individuals and companies to list, who have supported us in some way. We cannot begin to thank everyone enough for what you have done. During a time of so much uncertainty; it has become unmistakably clear that we could not do what we do without the kindness, love, and generosity of our community. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
