Crossroads Sets-up at the Healthy Connections Expo, Bangor Mail
On the weekend of May 16-18th, Crossroads staff and volunteers maintained a table at the 2008 Healthy Living Expo at the Bangor Mall. This Expo espouses the virtues of clean and healthy styles of living in today's environment. All sorts of health-related presentations were display over the three day event. Crossroads message at the Expo was that healthy living starts with an adequate diet, and our goal was to educate people about the predominance of hunger in the area. Below is a picture of Crossroads display:
Brenda to
start her walk on November 1!
For the last six years, Director
Brenda Davis has done a walk to end hunger. Each of these years
she has started out at one end of the state and made each step
to the other so that many families, friends, seniors, and kids
don't go hungry.
Read about it here!
We are happy to announce, Brenda and Crash Kelly raised over $22,000 for her 2007
Walk and all proceeds went to help End Hunger in our local
communities.
Brenda Goes To Jail!
Brenda was picked up in September by Old Town's finest, and
charged with soliciting donat
ions
for the hungry. As part of the "Jail & Bail Charity Event," Brenda
raised money for Crossroads Resource Center programs! Brenda did
make charitable bail, and last we heard, she's back out on the
streets.
1st Crossroads Golf Tournament Raises Over $3000.
Crossroads had it's first annual golf
tournament on September 1st, 2007 at the Kunduskeag. 127 golfers
came out on a nice sunny day and played many rounds of golf. The
tournament also included score & pin prizes, door prizes, and lunch.
A core of the proceeds raised came from the 20 hole sponsors.
Crossroads asked local business to donate $100 in return for hole
acknowledgement. We'd like to extend our sincere appreciation to all
those that helped out. We hope to have our second annual tournament
around the same time next year!
Franco-American Resource Opportunity Group helps out this Xmas!
Crossroads would like to thank the Franco-American Resource Opportunity Group and the Franco-American Centre at the University of Maine for holding a toy drive for needing families this past Christmas. FAROG student president Natalie Cormier presented stuffed animals, toys, food and clothing to the Centre, which was greatly appreciated, due to the fact we had a low turnout with overall donations this past holiday season. FAROG has informed us that they hope to make this an annual event, and again, we at the Crossroads can't express enough, our sincere appreciation.
