Thanks to Ben Sattelberg for the Trailer

By the generous use of his 16' trailer, Ben Sattelberg enabled us to acquire 53 fifty-five gallon barrels which will be used as repositories for donated goods intended for Orphan Grain Train--Michigan.

The barrels were obtained from Coty's Truck Wash and transported by Jeremy VanTol (right) here with one of their workers.  Decals will be applied as shown below after the tops are removed and the barrels cleaned.

This Time Over 500 Pillowcase Dresses

Karen, Diane, Patricia, and Lynette are ladies of St. John Lutheran Church, Ionia, Michigan who delivered on March 6 over 500 sundresses (sometimes called pillowcase dresses) which they and others lovingly sewed for little girls at Orphan Grain Train destinations where children have so little to brighten their days and have something pretty to wear.

This is not the first such gift from the women of St. John.  700 dresses were given last year.

Such love and kindness!  Thank you.
