Make A Difference Day

Congratulations to everyone who played a role in our Halloween Treat Bag Make A Difference Day project. Our project was listed among the outstanding work done in the April 15-17 issue of USA WEEKEND Magazine, which appeared in the April 17, 2005 edition of the Altoona Mirror.

More than 50 Altoona Area School District students, their friends, and family members came to First Lutheran Church, Altoona, on Saturday, October 23, 2004, to make Halloween treat bags for childhood cancer patients at Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh and Geisinger Medical Center. Others, who were unable to participate on Saturday donated treats.

Heartfelt thanks to:

First, treat bags were decorated	Then, everyone chose something else to make to put into their bag - a matching game, bracelet, joke book, and more	AAHS Interact club members came with smiles and a will to work!
Fall poetry looked great on the colorful leaves and pumpkins	It was a family affair!	The guys got into it, too, with joke books, tongue twisters, riddles, and matching games
Filling the treat bags was almost as much fun as opening packages		An incredible number of treats were donated. It looked like Chrismas!
PV students are a great team!	The resident origami expert! Ghosts and pinwheels were favorites.	Becky added the ghost labels
	Incredible Artwork!!
Sample riddle books, matching games, poetry, inspirational artwork/proverbs		Build-a-bears were made during the summer of 2004 by Harrisburg Rainbow Assembly (Worthy Advisor Nicole organized the event. She and her sister Chelsea are Brian's cousins). Bears were sent to Children's in Pittsburgh and to Geisinger.
