Grocery Tapes Project

As the coordinator for the handling of the tapes on behalf of our men’s choir, I present this brief report outlining the procedures and benefits.

We wish to thank all of you who save the tapes and bring them to church. Without your participation, this program wouldn’t be successful. So far this year we have received $1,380.00 from the stores and estimate receiving another $700.00 to $800.00 before year-end (2007).

We wish to point out that we can process tapes from any Dominion or Sobeys stores in Canada. So tell relatives and friends near and far to save the tapes for you.

A big thank-you is extended to my predecessor, Fred Lawrence. Fred handled this work for years and in that time brought a lot of funds into the church through this project. After being in this position for a short time, I can attest to the volume of work in sorting and preparing the tapes for presentation to the stores.

Before the tapes can be delivered to the stores for redemption, they first are sorted by store and amounts $10.00 and over are compiled in $1,000.00 lots. Tapes under $10.00 are sorted by dollar amounts and compiled by numbers. The lots are then brought to the stores in bundles of $50,000.00 value. We then receive payment on the basis of $2.00 for each $1,000.00 presented. In closing,

I would like to personally thank the men who collected and sorted the tapes during my absence of 12 weeks. Their work made my job much easier upon my return.

Please keep the tapes coming and keep me busy.

Bob Hedges

Coordinator

Keep those tapes coming and keep me busy!
