THE PUBLIC MIND: BOY SCOUTS ARE THANKED FOR FOOD COLLECTION EFFORT

Open Letter to Boy Scouts and Leaders:

On behalf of the hungry of the Cape Girardeau area, I wish to thank you for your efforts to collect food through your "Scouting for Food" Program.

Mr. Bob Hoppmann is to be commended for his compassion and organizational talent in leading the Scouts in this annual drive. The Cape Girardeau community is likewise to be thanked for its generosity in responding to this appeal.

The Boy Scout Drive has done much to assist our organization in continuing to meet the emergency needs of hungry people during the next few months. As we approach the Thanksgiving Holiday, we show our gratitude to God by our willingness to share.

Rev. Craig L. Nessan,

President

FISH Volunteers of Cape Girardeau
