THE FINAL PHOTO (BY LOIS FISCHER) OF OUR KMAQ HALLWAY
WITH 423 JARS OF PEANUT BUTTER FOR THE MAQUOKETA
COMMUNITY CUPBOARD.   THE PHOTO TAKEN THIS  MORNING
JUST BEFORE THEY WERE LOADED INTO A PICKUP AND TAKEN
TO THE CUPBOARD BUILDIGN ON WEST PLATT STREET.
THE COMMUNITY CUPBOARD IS OPEN EVERY FRIDAY MORNING AND GIVE FOOD TO
ANYONE, NO QUESTIONS ASKED AND ANYWHERE BETWEEN 100 AND 150 STOP
IN.   THE FIRST KMAQ COLLECTED BUTTER GOES OUT TOMORROW MORNING AND
FUTURE FRIDAY MORNINGS UNTIL ALL IS GONE.    THIS WAS KMAQ'S 3RD YEAR

THE VOY THEATRE GAVE OUT AROUND 50 OF THIS ADMISSION TICKETS.   THANKS
