College Bryan Phone 779-SAFE Food bank enlarges warehouse to help needy in Brazos County i( By Kelley Bullock Reporter Although the Brazos Food Bank for the Bryan-College Station area is operating comfortably from its new warehouse, the organization nearly had to shut down before its address change on April 1. “We had almost suspended opera tions for the two months that we were moving, because we had to leave the other warehouse and put things in temporary storage until we could move them here,” said Sharon J. Shaw, director of operations for the Brazos Food Bank. “We kept the normal operations going. That is, the volunteers would pick up food from the various stores and then de liver the food directly to the agen cies.” About 16 agencies help distribute food to the needy people. “There are an awful lot of needy people out there,” Shaw said. “There are a lot of agencies that help them, such as the Red Cross, various churches which have established pantries and the (Twin City) mis sion. “We then will redistribute to agen cies which will pass the food on to the needy people. We don’t deal with the needy people themselves.” The Brazos Food Bank hopes to grow so that it will serve even more needy people in the local commu nity. “Eventually, we will have the capa bility to get hundreds of pounds of almost anything at one time,” Shaw said. “My concern is having space for growth.” The warehouse the food bank had before had been donated. It was about 1,000 square feet, while the new leased warehouse is about 5,000 square feet. “The old warehouse was a very generous offer on the part of the owner,” Shaw said. “He donated it because he had no need for it, hut as soon as he had a need, we had to go. “They gave us as much time as food is either donated by various businesses or bought by the bank at a low rate. “There’s a lot of surplus food, such as from grocery stores and wholesalers," Shaw said. "We gather die food and put it through the pipeline to the people who really need it. “We collect between 3,500 pounds “Eventually, we will have the capability to get hun dreds of pounds of almost anything at one time. . . . The grocery stores donate because the alternative is to throw the food in the dumpster. That’s what they did before the food bank existed here. ” Sharon J. Shaw, food bank director of operations ' I they could, and it took us a long time to find something suitable.” In order to lease a building, the Brazos Food Bank relied on funds from the United Way, which gives $5,700 per year. “The United Way is the (hief sup port for our organization, because it does lake money to lease this build ing, pay for utilities and pay for of fice supplies and various little things,” Snaw said. A one-year lease for the ware house costs the bank $300 pet month, and utilities cost from SI00 to $200 per month, said Michael Stecher, president of the board of directors for the hank. The organization is run by volun teers, except for the director of op erations, who is paid $100 per week as a part-time employee, and the and 4,000 pounds of bread per week. Most of it is picked up by vol unteers who go to four Safeway stores and two Winn Dixie stores in Bryan and College Station. Then they take it directly to agencies that give to the needy. We never see it here. “In addition, the stores usually contribute from 250 and 500 pounds of dairy products per week. "The grocery stores donate Ire- cause the alternative is to throw the food in the dumpster. That’s what they did before the food hank existed here." The food given to the bank is older food or cosmetically damaged food that the store cannot sell any more, but is perfectly edible. "Bread has a shelf-life of a day in a store, hut the bread really lasts a lot longer than that," Shaw said, usually deliver the bread i|j day, so it never gets very old Because the demand fori great, the food bankisprei expand its operations. “We are preparing to!» the I louston Food Bank”!

April Dawn Voglino, 16, was recovering Mon day from surgery at a Corpus Christi hospital, where she was taken after a 5-foot shark bit off her arm below the shoulder, officials said. The Kingsland teen-ager’s condition was up graded from serious but stable to poor by doctors at Memorial Medical Center, hospital official He len Persad said. Nueces County Commissioner J.P. Luby said a meeting was planned for Tuesday, and experts would he asked whether the attack was related to the mulitated baby sand sharks, turtles and a large amberjack that washed ashore Sunday. Voglino was in chest-deep water near Mustang Island Saturday when the shark attacked her. She was swimming with her father. Robert Vog- lino, who pounded at the shark and carried his daughter ashore after the shark swam w was not injured. Luby said Voglino and her parentswrta at an isolated beach near Aransas Beack p.m. when the attack took place. “We’ve had people bitten before, bui: J as major as this," Luby said. “If thereiiiEl ol shat ks in the area, I want toknowabouuf Luby, whose precinct covers 21 beach, said the attack was probablvaiu r ase and he would not order the beachesdil In the n increa fomen f anted p Jtan Pre help you 1 Iments. His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, Founder of the Transcendental Meditation Program Dear student, Psychologists say that most people use only a small fraction of their mental potential. Ever wonder what would happen if you could unlock the rest of your capabilities? Think what it would mean for your learning ability, your productivity, your future prosperity. There’d be almost no limit to what you could accomplish! BECOME A TOP PERFORMER Well, you can unfold your poten tial, and the technique is remarkably easy. You’ll learn about it soon at a free lecture on the Transcendental Meditation (TM) technique. If you want the success in life you’ve been dreaming about, I urge you to at tend this lecture. My name is Fred Poneman. Fm regional vice president of a national investment brokerage firm and spend most of my time teaching people how to be more successful and productive. In my experience, the most success ful people are the ones who practice Transcendental Meditation. Why? Because, as you’ll learn at the lecture, the simple, natural TM technique, practiced 15-20 minutes twice a day, brings a person greater clarity of mind, greater creativity, and greater organizing power. TM helps people to excel in a fast-chang ing, stressful environment. Ifs proven itself to be the best thing in the world you can do to become a top performer. Success in life is easier than you think, Attend this free lecture and learn why. BENEFFI’S TO STUDENTS B y now, more than 1,000,000 students like yourself have experienced the benefits of TM. More than 350 scientific research studies over the last 15 years have doc umented these benefits, and many of the findings are directly related to your life as a student including: ■ increased intelligence and learning ability ■ improved comprehension, concentration, and memory ■ improved academic and job performance ■ reduced stress and anxiety HI increased happiness 9 improved interpersonal relationships ■ improved athletic perfonnance At the upcoming lecture, you’ll hear details of some of this research. You’ll also learn the reason why TM brings so many benefits (o mind, body, and behavior at the same time. In brief, the explanation is this. At the basis of all of creation is the unified field of all of the laws of nature as described by modern physics and by ancient Vedic science. The TM technique allows you to experience the unified field within your own con sciousness. Having this experience twice a day brings you more and more support of the laws of nature. And this means it gets easier and easier to ful fill all your desires for greater success and achievement in life. TECHNIQUE FOR SUCCESS But there’s even more to it than that, At the lecture, you’ll also hearaboot the “Super Radiance” effect. Whenas little as the square root of one percent of the population of a city or a country practices the TM technique and its advanced aspects, the crime and acci dent rates go down, and society as a whole becomes more peaceful and productive. That’s how powerful the TM technique is! The benefits that TM has broughtto so many people throughout the world will grow in your life too, once you begin the technique (which I recom mend that you do). But for now, why not just attend the free lecture? It's only about 45 minutes long, yet it could mark the beginning of a whole net' level of personal satisfaction and performance that will continue to grow for the rest of your life. The date and time of the free lecture are listed below. I hope you’ll be them, and I guarantee you won’t be sorry!
