**Blue Jeans Sunday Is October 10th**
Fall is here and West-Ark’s Annual “Blue Jeans Sunday” is
just weeks away! The purpose of this special fall event is two-fold:
To restock the Hope Chest with blue jeans for the fall and
winter -- jeans are the most-requested item of clothing; and to provide an
opportunity for West-Ark members to serve others -- in our community and our
church family.
How Can I Help?
Collect blue jeans to bring on 10.10.10 -- new or used, all
sizes, for men, women, or children. Our goal is 1,010 pairs of blue
jeans!
Sign up for one of the work projects listed below. The
sign-up lists are really important! They help our project leaders know how
many workers to count on, and provide our cooks with a count for the noon meal
(lunch is provided for all workers). Sign up today!
• CURE -- sort and fold linens (need about 20
workers)
• Hope Chest -- fold and pack jeans (need about 20-25
adults)
• Heart to Heart Pregnancy Center -- Clean out and
relandscape flower beds and indoor atrium (need 20-25 workers with
tools)

(need about 8-10 workers)

**Tutoring Program**
The Tutoring Program is in need of 7 additional tutors, 12
people willing to be subs, a few more snack providers and people willing to
provide $6.00 each week to purchase milk for the children.
If you have told Sheila or Karen that you will do one of
these things, please sign your name on the appropriate list on the table in the
foyer.
If you want to provide milk money for the children, make your
check out to West-Ark Church of Christ and give it to Sheila Vaught or Karen
Farris. We will hold the check until needed, purchase the milk, and then
give the check to the office. Thank you for your
assistance.
If you did sign up in the foyer, please check that your name
is still on the list. One page of the snack providers and one page of the
tutors was removed from the table, and we don’t know who may be on that
list. Thank you.
