Remembering Bill Orndorff

William Henry (Bill) Orndorff, of Salem, passed away

unexpectedly on Saturday, July 28, 2012, after a wonderful

morning of doing what he loved, cycling and spending time

with his family and friends. An avid cyclist, Bill enjoyed many

opportunities to travel and cycle at home and abroad.

Bill believed in supporting the communities where he lived and

worked. He was a very strong supporter and Board Member of

the Community Outreach Program. He was a member of the

Rotary Club of Salem, and a past member of the Roanoke

Valley, Strasburg, and Front Royal Rotary Clubs.

Clothes Closet

Thank you Life Scout Shane Foley for the new Clothes Closet

and classroom. They’ve already been put to good use! We still

need donations of girls size 10 fall and winter clothing in good

condition.

COP has started and we are off to a great start serving 100

children at 4 downtown UMC churches: Fairview on

Wednesdays, St. Paul on Tuesdays, West End on Tuesdays and

Trinity on Tuesdays through Thursdays. Please keep West End in

your prayers as we find temporary solutions for the kids while their

building is being repaired.

We have a great group of loyal volunteers but need more!

We’re looking for groups to purchase, prepare and serve dinners

at St. Paul on Tuesdays.

COP continues to struggle with transportation challenges. We

dropped from 5 vans to only 3 usable 15 passenger vehicles and

are in desperate need of a quality 15 passenger transport. This is

a great opportunity for a mission in your church because without

transportation COP is unable to reach these children in local

neighborhoods. If you would like to donate to this cause please

call 540-342-3103 or e-mail umcopr@roacoxmail.com

We’re off and running!

Christmas Angels

Christmas Angels will be out by the end of

October. Every child receives a Clothing Angel

and Toy Angel each valued at a maximum of $50.

These gifts help share the spirit of Christ's coming

with children who might otherwise be forgotten at

Christmas. COP delivers these angels while children

are at school, in order that these gifts may be

given on Christmas day by their families. You and

your Church or Organization can help by adopting

COP Christmas Angels and returning gifts between

December 2 and 17.

For information please call 540-342-3103.
