During April's meeting member Jaymee offered to pick up some non-perishable items from Costco since she would be shopping there for her family the following weekend and members Suella, Sherrill, and Madelon were quick to donate Costco gift certificates and money to the cause. The only trouble? Wyoming weather!

After making it a quarter of the way there Jaymee and her husband had to turn around due to unsafe road conditions. The shopping trip was planned for the following weekend... weather permitting!

Flash forward a week and they were met with similar condition while driving between Laramie and Fort Collins. The roads weren't nearly as bad and after about 10 miles the snow turned to rain and the roads were much safer.


What an adventure! They arrived safe and sound with plenty of time to shop and so got to work picking out bulk items discussed earlier in the meeting and with President Day.



The overall haul included:


Snacks, comfort food, and proteins: popcorn, top ramen, macaroni and cheese, orange fruit cups, granola bars, cracks with peanut butter, and cookies. It's a great start to the Snack Sack program.
