Hello everyone!

Front Office Remodeling
Just when I'm getting back to normal routine, on Monday ALA's front office will be revamped. This includes moving my desk to the corner of the office so that I have a better view of the parking lot and have more work space that I can reach from my chair. It will be good when it's finished, but for the next two weeks I'll move into the meeting room.

Fry's 
I have no news on Fry's for you. We have just two weeks left for ALA to purchase cards and for our supporters to reload their cards. Please encourage your supporters to purchase and reload their cards as much as possible before the program ends on 7/27. All money loaded onto cards by 7/27 WILL earn 6% for ALA when the card is loaded, and the money WILL remain on the cards until it is spent.

I apologize. I ran short on time this week for getting a bulletin insert out to the churches.

Profits
I am in the process of reporting the profit designations to our finance director, John Mueller, so that he can write the checks to the congregations and schools. I hope to finish that project very soon.

Forms
I also need to update all of our forms, our literature, and our website with the Fry's changes. I updated the Scrip enrollment form and put a link to it at the top of the blog today. (See above.) The enrollment form only needs to be filled out by new Scrip supporters or if someone's information has changed.

Check out the other files available at the top of the blog.

I think that's all the news for now. Pray for rain everyone!
