JOIN HANDS DAY 2006
A chapter service team organized some adults and youth to purchase and pack 25 boxes of food and personal items for southern MN military personnel serving in Iraq.  These boxes were sent at the end of June with Owatonna Armory personnel assisting.  $650.00 of the project money was used for the military boxes.


Remaining $350.00 was used by an adult/youth team from Our Savior's Lutheran, Owatonna, for environmental projects and/or beautification of the neighborhood.  THANKS go to both teams for seeing a need and responding.
