Turkeys for Thanksgiving? Draw for Tahini. -

Hello families,

For the past years, we have been a partner with the Thanksgiving box giveaway at the Fairgrounds. This is the one where families drive by to get their food boxes. This year, that program has opted to not do this due to COVID-19. They will be doing $20.00 gift cards through the food banks. I believe it is a first come first serve basis. 

We do have grant funds to purchase food for our members. We would like to know if you would like to use our grant funds to buy families turkeys for Thanksgiving? Please vote by Friday, October 30th at 5pm. 

We also have 2 buckets of Tahini and if you would like to be entered into the drawing, please enter your name on the form. Draw will happen Friday at 5pm.

In order to keep our site well balanced, we ask that everyone maintain a No Politics, No Religion, and No Campaigning on the Philomath Community Services property. If we hear any of this happening, we will ask you to leave the site for the day.

Help Needed Thursday (October 29th) Wood

 We could use help delivering Wood to one of our adoptees. Please let us know if you can help. Call Patty. 

Help needed Wednesday - October 28th at 9am

 We need help to empty the shed behind the building so it can be moved Wednesday afternoon. Eventually, we will get an extra walk in refrigerator (that was donated to PCS this past summer). Please call Patty if you can help! 

Voting Options - WE NEED YOUR OPINIONS and your vote!

 Voting Options    

Nominations are due by November 5th at 11:59pm

At our last meeting, we discussed how we will do the voting as COVID is a new time for everything. It was suggested that we ask LBFS to help us. LBFS is not available to be part of this for us. 

Here are some suggestions we have come up with

1. All votes can be done online on google forms as we do other voting. This is free of charge. We can have members call the folks that do not have access to be online to get their votes. The results can be shared online with this blog with pictures. 

2. Voting can be done in person at the member meeting on November 12th. We would have paper voting forms and 3 members (whom are not one of the members being voted on) will be asked to count the votes. We could have an hour where if people wanted to vote, they would call in their votes to someone - maybe a member who is not on the form would volunteer to be the call taker. 

3. We use a 3rd party voting system and pay for it. This would require we share your emails and/or phone numbers from what I can see. This would also cost at least $10. 

4. The last option was to ask a local pastor or teacher to host this, but we still need to decide on HOW to do the voting during covid. 

Please take the time to VOTE on how you think voting will best suit our membership this year:

Voting policy on how many votes per household

Please click the link and vote by Saturday at 5pm. 

Conversations at our meetings: 

What if all parties in the household do not agree, shouldn't they be allowed to have their own opinions?

Since we sign up for gleaners by household with a head of household, shouldn't we vote per household. If a family has 4 adults in the home, should they get 4 votes vs a single family. Why does one family get more weight on a vote?

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScIscATAZpn9NOeTK8R9QC1kjz6QCXinzOjg8WpJ-dj8A3R8g/viewform?usp=sf_link
