Fall E
The temperature is cooling down, kids are back in school and life is settling into a more normal, familiar routine - it must be Fall! Thoughts begin to drift toward pumpkins, costumes, changing
colors, sweaters, baseball playoffs and local football games. The BBQ will soon be covered and the
house will be filled with wonderful smells from the kitchen oven. There may even be a log burning in
the fireplace, although the log may be fake and the fire provided by your local Gas Co., the feelings
are the same. Summer is officially over! Unfortunately, the traditional passage of the season is not a
time of joy for many of our neighbors. Many continue to look for a job in a market that provides very
few opportunities and, because of the length of time on unemployment, their benefits may have run
out or will very soon. Many of those who are working have had their hours cut back or their pay reduced and the rising cost of living has exacerbated their problem even more. We need to be mindful
of our neighbors all year long but especially as we enter the Holiday Season. At the Pantry we are
doing all we can to provide assistance with food, clothing and emotional support. We are also helping
by providing reading tutor programs for their children. Each of us can make a difference in someone
else’s life this Holiday Season by reaching out with a helping hand.
We had a wonderful Fall Celebration/Fund Raiser event on September 24, 2011 at the Glendora Country Club. The evening was filled with silent auctions, raffle drawings, live auctions and a
great dinner. We also had a table filled with homemade desserts that were auctioned off after dinner
and the winners shared their prize with other guests at their table. Two guests won live auction BBQ
dinners with Glendora Mayor Doug Tessitor and his wife Cyndy at their home. They will have an interesting evening no doubt. Other live auction items included weekend cabin/condo getaways to Big
Bear Lake, La Quinta, Palm Desert & Green Valley Lake. We sincerely thank all of the donors who
provided the silent & live auction items and all of the guests who made the evening such a memorable success. We also want to thank all the individuals who provided the dessert auction baked goods
that were so delicious. A special thank you goes out to Dotti Crawford and her daughter Lauren for
wrapping all of the silent auction items; Patti Moehler for arranging the silent auction area; and Sara
Baron for jumping in and helping with the finishing touches that made everything look so special.

Volunteer’s in the Spotlight
We think it is a tribute to any organization when a
husband and wife volunteer as a team. Although
Shepherd’s Pantry has more than one husband &
wife volunteer team, Tom and Irma Neprasch certainly stand out as a great example of what volunteerism is all about. Tom is one of our resource
counselors and Irma helps clients shop in our clothing store. They have both volunteered at the Pantry
for more than four years and in spite of long work
commutes and busy daily schedules they always
make time to volunteer on Wednesday evenings.
They both have a great attitude and a compassionate heart and enjoy helping those who are less fortunate.

Wednesday evenings.
Food Drives

to see how much food will be collected this year.

Clothing Store
In 2008 Gloria Miller volunteered to manage the
start-up and on-going operations of our clothing
store. She has done a wonderful job over the
past three years creating what we believe is one
of the finest non-profit clothing stores around.
She dedicated a considerable amount of her
personal time to insuring the store was always
the best it could be and after three plus years
has decided to retire from actively managing the
store. Much as we hate to see her step down,
we completely understand her motivation and
wish her and her husband Gary well and hope
they are able to enjoy traveling and more time at
home.
As the old saying goes, no one is irreplaceable
but we discovered it will take a team effort to
continue with the same level of quality and efficiency we’ve come to enjoy. Effective immediately, the following volunteers will assume clothing store lead responsibilities:



Ellen Anderson—Thursday evenings
Darlene Nichols - Wednesday evenings
Jane Van Stedum - Mon./Tues. mornings
Please join me in saying a heartfelt thank you to
Gloria and the volunteers who have agreed to
assume new responsibilities.
