In late October we were informed that our local St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store would be closing.

That's where the 'more' comes in; we want to be more than just a thrift store.

I am a thrift store junkie.

People came forward who were willing to organize and staff a volunteer food pantry.

Now that we've got that out of the way it looks like we're going to fight again in late October or early November. I'll be getting the exact date, hopefully by the end of this week. I'm planning on fighting twice more before the year is up. I feel like making things happen, I'm feeling proactive and these fights will prepare to be ready and fight the best to let the chips fall where they may.

It could come up if we have a special session in October. I think that's a little bit too late. The senate isn’t back until October 17th. I think that's too late that's a month from now.
