A Thimble Full of News for January
Area citizens have been working on the idea of developing a Boys and Girls Club for years. They have moved through the steps and, finally, there is light at the end of the tunnel. A core group has been formed, the land was donated, plans have been drawn and fundraisers throughout the years have raised funds towards the project. This coming May, a wine and cheese fundraising event will be held just like the Rockers used to hold each year to raise more funds for the High Country Boys and Girls Club. Two special raffle opportunities are available and tickets are on sale now: • Win an all-inclusive, four-day cruise for two to Mexico including $100 gratuities. $5.00 tickets on
The January meeting of the Thimble Club was held Thursday, Jan. 8. The invocation was given by Myrna Hawthorn and the Pledge of Allegiance was led by Alona Hougard.

Western Eagle Food Box Program is back with new drop-off, new date Jodi Thomas Anza Valley Outlook Manager Valley Gospel Chapel has a heart for giving back to the community. When the Western Eagle of Temecula stopped delivering Food Boxes to Anza a year ago due to rising fuel cost, VGC decided to rent a truck and keep the project going. Recently the church had put the project on hold to re-evaluate and reorganize. Now there is a new place and time for delivery. Western Eagle Food Boxes can still be purchased for $25 (cash only). Boxes will be delivered on the first Friday of the month. Western Eagle Food Boxes are designed to feed a family of four, two meals a day each, for an entire week.
This is an example of Western Eagles Food Box.
According to Western Eagles’ website each food box contains the following items: *Breakfast: cereal and complete pancake mix *Dinners: pasta with sauce, rice and beans, hamburger and tuna helper, mashed potatoes, canned foods (baked beans, vegetables and

more), seasonal fresh produce. *Also included are additionallydonated items such as milk, cheese, yogurt (as well as a wide range of other dairy products) soda, snacks, bread items and more. Prepayment is required; payment from the community should be made at Lorraine’s Pet Supply in
Anza by the previous Wednesday to pick up. The new pick-up location for boxes is at the Little Red School House, which is a more central location. The Little Red School House is located in the heart of Anza. Food boxes should be picked up between the hours of 4-6 p.m. If you are visiting VGC during the week you can drop off your payment in the offering box; fill out an envelope and mark it “Food Box.” Payment must be received by the Sunday before pickup. All are welcome. Purchasing food boxes helps keep the project going, making food boxes available for others who are in need. You can also purchase a food box for others.
