RALLY, from cover
two locations: in Reynolds Hall and in Sanders Hall (bilingual). Ages 5 and up are invited to participate, and an extended children’s program will be offered for those under 5 years of age. For those parishioners that have difficulty standing for long periods, sealing stations with chairs will provide a great opportunity to participate without too much physical strain. Thanks to many generous donations to the Dean’s discretionary fund, this event is free of charge. Rally Against Hunger T-shirts are available for $10 after morning services in RALLY DAY the Cloister. September 11 In order to pack 100,000 meals, we need everyone’s participation! And there are special volunteer opportunities for those who would like to help lead this effort: “Super Volunteers” agree to come on Saturday, September 10 from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. to set up the materials and to be trained as station leaders. Station leaders help direct the work of all the other volunteers the next day during the meal pack. “Cleanup Volunteers” show up at 1 p.m. on Sunday, when the morning volunteers are running out of steam. This crew helps complete the pack and load the truck. Visit www.christchurchcathedral.org/rallyagainsthunger for additional information about the event and to sign up to volunteer and make a difference. PAGE 7
