idea is that since we can’t assemble in person due to

no voice with

is setting up drop-off sites for donated shoes in Parkersburg at
the
First Christian Church parking lot (1400 Washington Ave.) and <b>in
the
courtyard area at the First Unitarian Universalist Church in
Marietta
(232 Third St.)</b></font></p>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">With provisional approval
from the Board of Trustees, Mike and I have placed a plastic bin
near the basement door to the RE/Office Building. We put a
print-out of Aaron Dunbar's poster (copy attached) on the bin so
you can easily identify it. Since the bin is not really
waterproof, we put a plastic bag inside to hold any shoe
donations. We'll be checking it at least twice a week, so please
fill up </font><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><font
size="3" face="Times New Roman">the bag in the bin </font>with
any old shoes you no longer need. If the Parkersburg drop-off
location is more convenient for you, please use it instead.</font></p>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">MOVCA really appreciates
any help you can provide for this project. Donations will be
accepted until July 23rd, but if we can do a Marietta shoe
strike the next week, we may leave the bin in place a little
longer. <br>
