Feed My Starving Children Event

***Update on Feed My Starving Children Event for Friday, September 17th***

Thanks to all families for being willing to contribute to this event. It looks like we have enough adults to participate and enough drivers to get students to FMSC in Eagan after fall field day.

If you would still like to come and join us for the event, please let me know. It wouldn't hurt to have a few more adults with this large group and it should be a fun time working for a great cause.

The one change to note from the initial email is that students will need to be driven from the Lexington-Diffley complex at 2:00pm rather than Trinity School.

Here are the details:

Drivers: Jesse Schoen, Kim Kelly-Sommer, Marion Gabl, Barb Bittner, Jeanette Leighton, Jeff Meyer

Directions:
From Lexington-Diffley Athletic Complex to FMSC - turn left onto Lexington Avenue and go north for 3 miles, turn right onto Lone Oak Road going east, pass Neil Armstrong Blvd and then take the first right into the industrial area and go to the far east side of the business building straight ahead.

From FMSC to Trinity - turn right onto Lone Oak Road going east from the FMSC parking lot, take that to Dodd Road and go north (take a left), stay right on Dodd Road through the 55/149 split, turn right (east) onto O'Neill Drive, take that about one mile to Trinity.

Adult Workers: Jesse Schoen, Kim Kelly-Sommer, Andrew Nussbaum, Marion Gabl, Tom Leighton, John Berns, Jeff Meyer, Lisa Schoen, Joyce Driessen

Schedule:

1 - Arrive at the Trinity Fall Field Day site (Lexington-Diffley Athletic Complex in Eagan) at 1:45pm. We will meet in the parking lot to the south of the athletic fields off Lexington Avenue.

2 - Fall Field Day ends at 2:00pm, we will drive students to the Feed My Starving Children location (990 Lone Oak Road, Suite 160 Eagan, MN).

3 - Participate in the 2:30-4:30pm training and work shift with the cross country team.

4 - Transport students back to Trinity after the event.

If fall field day is moved indoors at Trinity School, we would then transport students from Trinity to Feed My Starving Children at the same times listed.

If fall field day is cancelled, we will have a normal cross country practice at Trinity School from 3:30-5:30pm as we would not be able to make the 2:30pm start time needed to participate at Feed My Starving Children.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Jesse

Hello,

I am contacting parents/families of Trinity cross country runners because our team has an exciting opportunity we can be a part of next Friday, but we will need your help to pull it off.

Next Friday, September 17th is Trinity Fall Field Day. We typically try to avoid having a strenuous practice on field day. Instead of a workout that afternoon, we have scheduled to work a shift from 2:30-4:30pm at Feed My Starving Children in Eagan.

Feed My Starving Children (http://www.fmsc.org) is an organization that prepares and packages food to be sent to children at many locations across the world, but they count on volunteer support for the packaging of materials.

We have approximately 28 cross country runners prepared to take part in this event, but we need roughly 8 adults (18+ years of age) to work alongside us as chaperones to make this possible.

If you are able and willing to help out the cross country team, here's what we would ask of you:

1 - Arrive at the Trinity Fall Field Day site (Lexington-Diffley Athletic Complex in Eagan) at 1:45pm.

2 - Fall Field Day ends at 2:00pm, we would drive/transport students to the Feed My Starving Children location (990 Lone Oak Road, Suite 160 Eagan, MN).

3 - Be willing to participate in the 2:30-4:30pm training and work shift with the cross country team.

4 - Transport/drive students back to Trinity after the event.
--

Our practice time would end at 5pm and parents would pickup students at Trinity.

We won't be able to do this without your help. We will need roughly 6-8 more adults to meet the requirements for the students to participate.

Please email or call me if you can join us.

Thanks,
Jesse Schoen
