Looking Ahead


Just looking at the data on items boxed and labeled since the last container was shipped in 2008 and seeing we have 379 items. That probably represents 1/3 of the material stacked in our warehouse! So how many containers will we ship this year? We have the funds for one!

The breakdown by category--Boxes of:

Books...........................249
School supplies..................70
Religious books & Bibles.........18
Sewing supplies/machines.........11
Other items......................41
____________________________
....................Total........379

We have about 70 computers and monitors at the warehouse that will go on pallets, 10 or 11 computers and 20 some monitors on my truck, plus 5 computers in our basement. Those items should fit on 5 or 6 pallets and... oh yeah... one car! Guess we'd better fill the car and its trunk with stuff too!

A bit of a problem though... the garage doors are frozen shut. (See photo) Freezing and thawing will do that to unused doors. Hopefully with the temperatures near 40 this week, we'll only have to deal with the thawing.

Lots of work ahead, so if you are reading this and are in the Willmar, Minnesota area with free time in April and May, please stop by, give a call or click the "Contact Us" button at this website.

Thanks! :-)
