Xavier Mission: 'TIS THE SEASON OF LINT!
No, not Lent, lint! It's summertime, and that means donations to
the Mission dry up faster than camel spit in the Sahara. After a
second very rough year grant-wise we're projecting a significant
deficit at the end of the fiscal year (August 31) and could use your
help to cushion the blow. So please, dig deep in your pockets over
the next couple of weeks and donate whatever you find….pennies, quarters, dollar bills that have been through the wash. We'll even take the lint that comes with it and dispose of it properly for you!
Please help us to close the gap in our budget as we try to achieve a color on our spreadsheets we very rarely see—black! Thank you in advance for your generosity and have an enjoyable last few weeks of summer!
