Missing Sodus What a beautiful weekend. We came out to visit and it was a perfect day to be out and about. It was fun to go to the beach and watch a few people walk along the beach with the kids. It was so pretty and peaceful. Then, to see a few of the places with pumpkins was nice, as well. Burnap's has a cute fall display with the giant pumpkin and train beside it. I received a note from Beth Palmer about the Shelter Boxes: ShelterBox accepts donations for less than $900 for a complete Box. Smaller donations are pooled until we have enough for a complete Box. Each participant is informed the ID # of this Box so they can track it on our website This is also a good source for additional information. Credit card donations can be made on the website and checks can be sent to the address below. We have a total of 1200 ShelterBoxes in LA and MS providing emergency shelter for survivors, rescue personnel and volunteers. Some 600 of these Boxes are yet unsponsored, so we are looking for donations to repay the generousity of the ShelterBox Trust in sending them for our use before proper sponsorship was obtained. Thanks for your interest and support of ShelterBox. Oct. 1 & 2, Sat. & Sun.: Wayne County Apple Tasting Tour Kick-off (Tour extends throughout the month.)
