We have had a request from Guinta Midddle School to engage Working Group 13's Canned Food and Clothing Drive at the school. They have also requested assistance from Working Group 20, Walters Memorial Garden.
We are looking for volunteers who are interested in helping to connect community resources for these students!

Russell Johnson is out in the community connecting students to computers so they have the resources they need to be successful.
To date, he has delivered more than 65 computers (he keeps delivering them every day, so it is hard to keep a running number) and continues to ask for and receive donations. Russell is refurbishing old laptops and towers for students who cannot afford computers to do their schoolwork at home. He accepts donations form the community, removes all of the information from the computers, updates them with the operating systems the students will need and delivers them.
A student this week shared he was so excited to receive the computer that it felt like a scholarship. Russell gives a name to each computer. When the student turned on his new computer and saw that Russell had chosen to name that one Courage, the student began to cry – that’s the name he needed and wanted to live into!
Thank you, Russell, for all you do for our community and Connect & Propel! If you have an old computer you’d like
to donate to Russell, contact him at 813-389-5144.

The Board of Directors met to review projects, focus energy and consider what they want to accomplish this year. Stay tuned for updates on what's coming. What's happening now? Russell Johnson's efforts bring a student to tears...in a good way, of course!
