NewsLetter from Merlin


Hello everyone,

All of you were involved in the past outreaches and/or the pantry on Saturday, the 6th. I may have missed others; so please forward this also to potential future volunteers. Thank you for your willingness to serve the community unconditionally. Altogether, there were 40+ volunteers for the entire pantry from preparation to clean up; about half were first time volunteers. Please check out this link http://cityreaching.pbwiki.com/Faith+Hope+Love

We served more than 200 families at the corner of 10th/Rural; half of them were new to the FHL Pantry. The parking was a challenge but things went very. Everyone worked hard and was energized by the accomplishment of the entire team at the end of the day.

I spoke with several volunteers regarding the FHL’s “Kindness Weekend”. This event is similar to the Mobile Food Pantry but we serve the community in other ways other than food pantry. Some of the weekend (Saturday) outreaches are painting, light construction, gardening, trash pick ups, etc. Most of the projects are family-friendly and everyone can participate. The similarity is that we visit different areas of the community to serve as a catalyst for garnering active participation in community service from Indianapolis area churches, businesses, government and educational institutions. Stay tune for the next ‘Kindness Weekend’.

If you would like to know more about FHL’s ‘Kindness Weekend’, please join us at the Business Appreciation Luncheon at GT South BBQ located at 71st St. west of Binford on Sept. 16th from 11:30a-1:00p. We only have limited seats available. If you are interested for this Free luncheon, please RSVP me by responding to this email by Tuesday, the 9th. Many businesses in the area had served with FHL in the past. You will hear some of their testimonials.

You were part of the positive change in the community; we touched countless people. I would like to encourage you to invite others to join us in the near future. To experience the blessings in serving.

FHL is currently interviewing for volunteers/Interns. Please let me know if you know anyone who might be interested in on-the-job training in areas of administrative, events and program planning, technology, media and communications, marketing and promotions, etc. You will learn first hand how to be a catalyst of positive changes in our city.

Sincerely,

Merlin Gonzales
CEO, FHL

It Takes Time

Dear Friends.

Let me just say that I never dreamed it would take this much time to get out some video of FHL 2008. It has been quite and adventure.

My poor home computer was bogged down already and then I've been working it even harder. Time out for some reorganization. At last, I rearranged software programs and made way for offloading video. Now, where to put it so that all of you can see it? An external harddrive for the offloaded video. So do I just post the "clips" or is it better to create "movies"?

Before I could do either I had to offload from dv tape to the computer. Then cut apart the different clips and catalog. Labeling was even more difficult since I was not provided with individual names or affiliations.

So I am going to post some parts on the Youtube and it will show up in the viewer below. I will get more creative with movies as I get more detailed information on the clips so that I can accurately credit them.

Thank you all for your patience. I promise I have spent hours, all-nighters and days trying to get this together for you.

With the limitations as to software and advanced editing equipment, it just takes time and LOTS of it. I hope that you will find it worth the wait.

Since "Patience" is one of the fruits of the Spirit... I cannot wait for the harvest (pun was intended).

Blessings, Ellen5e
