“Caitlin’s Smiles” provides young hospital patients with “Bag of Smiles” packages through the Creative Arts Care Program.  The staff at children’s hospitals distributes the packages to hospitalized children.  This non-profit organization was created by the family of Caitlin Hornung, granddaughter of Chuck and the late Carol Kimerline.   Caitlin lost her battle to cancer in 2000, just before she turned 8 years old.  (see the bulletin board in the office hallway or your September newsletter for more information on “Caitlin’s Smiles”).  To help this non-profit organization that provides these gifts to children’s hospitals, enjoy your meal(s) at the Bucyrus Bob Evan’s Restaurant on Tuesday, September 14, 2010 between the hours of 10 am. – 9:00 p.m.  Bob Evan’s Restaurant will donate 15% of your meal cost before taxes to Caitlin Smiles!  (there is no extra cost to you other than your meal cost)  So that Caitlin’s Smiles receives the 15%, you must show the Bob Evan’s Restaurant the pink flyer available on the narthex wall racks and at the church office.  This offer is good ONLY at Bucyrus’ Bob Evans’ Restaurant and ONLY on Tuesday, September 14 between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 9 p.m.  Thank you!
