Rome Crop Walk 2006
A Big Success!!

Rome, NY 13440
336-6251

Dear Fellow Worshippers,

Last year the CROP Walk had another successful year. The record for the most amount of money raised was broken. There was approximately $31,600.00 raised to help fight world hunger. This was a great effort put forth by the community of Rome. WELL DONE!!!! The local community also benefited with over $7,900 staying in the Rome area. In the past twelve years, the amount of walkers and the amount of money raised have increased significantly. It is very important to continue the success of the CROP Walk because the demand for food, education, and self-help has increased as well. It is very important to get new and innovative ideas. Please come and share with the CROP Walk committee some of your expertise, new ideas, and your support. Your time and talents can be adjusted to a certain task with minimal amount of time or you are welcome to join the committee and expend a great amount of time and energy.
There will be an organizational meeting at First Methodist Church at 212 W. Embargo St. at 7:00 PM on May 21, 2007. This year has been a very busy time for Church World Service. Each year, neighbors and friends in some 2000 communities across the U.S. make a difference locally and globally by joining in the local CROP WALK. Last year, some two million CROPWALKERS, volunteers, and sponsors raised nearly $16 million to feed the hungry, protect children, assist uprooted people and “change” the world. This past year, CWS brought together its East African partner to find ways to expand and enhance Water for Life/ Water for All program. CWS has supported one of the largest humanitarian efforts in southern and western Darfur and has proven its capacity again and again to respond to this humanitarian crisis. CWS supports rebuilding lives and homes to thousands of families that are still trying to regain normalcy in lives forever changed by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Church World Service has been there when and where there is a need. This meeting will inform you about what CROP is and what CROP does and how we as a community can support this very needy effort. This meeting is an opportunity to get to talk with you and to find out where your time and talents can be utilized to best help CROP Walk 2007.
Please come and join us in the fight against hunger both in Rome and around the World. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at 336-6251.

Sincerely,

Sue Hanson, Coordinator
