It was a beautiful day for weeding! Tuesday's lunch this week was the best oven fried chicken (soaked in buttermilk and hot sauce before breading) that you could ever imagine! It was served with fresh fruit, homemade fruit dip, brown rice, and blueberry muffins made with real blueberries. Our kitchen crew rocks! Thanks, Sue!! | Tuesday also brought a visit from the Transition class, so all the new students could get acquainted with Goodness Grows. It was awesome to welcome old and new friends! Leetonia and Mohawk should both be starting next week, so we are pretty excited. Today is CSA Day. After this, we have only 6 weeks left for the CSA. Almost time to start planning for next year! Tomorrow, we will be heading out on a "field trip" to the Canfield Fair! If you are there, maybe we will run into you while we are exploring. We are looking forward to the animals, the exhibits and, of course, fair food! We did have some sad news this week. Our intern Trevor, who planned on staying through October, will actually be leaving us at the end of the week. He decided to head back to Maine for college, so we are happy for him, but we sure will miss his kindness and patience here at GG. Goodness Grows is closed on Monday for the Labor Day holiday. We will be ready to get back into our routine on Tuesday! | | OUTREACH and MISSION OPPORTUNITIES | Coat & Clothing Drive Ongoing Outreach/Mission Opportunity

I was thirsty and you gave me a drink;
I was a stranger and you took me in;
I was naked and you clothed me;
I was sick and you visited me.
I was in prison and you came to me. .....When you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters,
you were doing it to me. Matthew 25: 35-36, 40 ~ What can YOU do? | | LOCAL COMMUNITY NEWS/EVENTS | If you know of any interesting news or events,

Gallery open from 10am-5pm.
Experience Bill Aubuchon’s collection of people, places and wildlife photographs taken in various locations around the world. In most cases, the digital images receive little or no post processing. Bill tries to present actual images as they appeared at the moment of exposure. When he comes upon a scene that interest him, he visualizes the final image and then transfers that information to the camera via shutters speed, lens opening, ISO and composition to arrive at the images presented in this exhibit. Meet the Artist: 9/8 | 1 – 3 pm Plenty of things to do for all ages at Mill Creek Park: Mill Creek Park Events. ~~~ | | Beaver Township Firemen's Association Benefit | CELEBRATE!
