Carol Folkmann from your St. Paul Lutheran Human Care Board has invited you to join the meal train for Becky (Latuska) Jackson, who will be having surgery on March 5th and will be on crutches for approximately six weeks. A few spots are still available. What is a meal train? There are times in our lives when friends and family ask, “What can I do to help out?” The answer is usually to help them with a meal. When many friends give a meal, this is a meal train. mealTrain.com is a free meal calendar tool that makes planning meals among a wide group easy and less stressful. Please use the following link to access the Meal Train for Becky Jackson. http://www.mealtrain.com?id=m1ughdk73yat
