“This is an open invitation.  There will be other activities and fellowship with Shoebox packers like yourself after Mrs. Strickland’s testimony,” says Jeanine Ford, area coordinator for the West Central Louisiana Area team.  “Plan to attend if you can.  We hope to see you at FBC Natchitoches on September 7.”
