Excerpts from "NOAC Notes," edited by Fred Swartz: *NOACers have responded to the challenge to keep on bearing fruit through their offerings and service this week. Wednesday's offering was $4,429.48, and an additional $167.45 was collected from the watering cans. ... In addition, 300 school and health kits have been assembled in the service project this week, with the help of more than 60 NOACers. Thanks also go to those who prepared and brought completed kits to NOAC, to those who contributed money ($575.00) to get supplies, and to Jay Crist ad Glenn Kinsel, who will transport the kits to New Windsor. *A new feature of the video news segments this week has been interviews with NOACers who are literally "Still Bearing Fruit, Still Fresh and Green." The segments have reminded conference participants of the many ways some of their colleagues are continuing to live this lifestyle. Those participating in the interviews are Elain Sollenberger, who introduced the series; Wil and Maud Lengel, Joe and Ferne Schechter, Glenn and Helen Kinsel, Don and Joyce Parker, Floyd and Kathleen Mitchell, Glendon and Wanda Button, and Hazel Peteres. Don and Eleanor Rowe have been the segment producers.
