The Ali’s new home has a large enclosed back yard, and the Social Ministries Committee would like to install swings, a sand box, etc., for the younger children. The older children would like to have a basketball goal. The committee would also like to give them outdoor chairs and a picnic table. Anyone who can help with the family’s job search or locate outdoor play equipment and furniture, please call Gayle Stanfill at 348-3816.
