THIS COMING SUNDAY EVENING, MARCH 5
 anytime between 6:00 pm and 8:00 pm

SUPPLIES OVER SEAS 
S.O.S.

This coming Sunday night, some friends put together a wonderful gathering of supporters at
the local headquarters of SUPPLIES OVER SEAS to give them an opportunity to offer their support to one of my ministry projects in the missions of the Caribbean. This cocktail-hors d'oeuvres reception was organized by Dr. Catherine Newton, Mr. Paul Bluel, and Mr. Tim Tomes.

Tours will be available of this marvelous local organization.
Come and meet some of your friends, make some new ones and learn all about S.O.S. and our island ministry.

This local organization salvages tons of surplus medical supplies from regional hospitals and health care facilities, which would otherwise be deposited in landfills, and sends them overseas to countries in dire need of such equipment. 


Under the banner of my new organization for retired priests, bishops and professional lay people (not necessarily Catholic), we are assembling, with the help of some generous friends, a 40' shipping container of these medical supplies for my adopted St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Through the local Catholic Diocese of Kingstown, SVG, we hope to distribute these needed medical supplies to the local hospital, nursing home, mental facility and three childrens' homes. For fees of about $20,000, we can ship about $350,000 worth of surplus medical supplies. 

If you want to be part of this wonderful event, and to help the caterer plan the food, please try to rsvp by Wednesday evening to:
Dr. Catherine Newton
cnewtonmd@aol.com
or
Father Ronald Knott
1-502-303-4571
jrknott@bellsouth.net

or send your tax deductible check made out to "SUPPLIES OVER SEAS - SVG FUND" and send it to:
Rev. Ronald Knott
1271 Parkway Gardens Court
Louisville, KY 40217
 

ALMS GIVING IS A LENTEN TRADITION. YOUR DOLLARS CAN BE TURNED INTO MANY DOLLARS WORTH OF SURPLUS MEDICAL EQUIPMENT FOR THE MISSIONS. 


A view of a small part of the warehouse where items are sorted and prepared for shipment by teams of generous SUPPLIES OVER SEAS volunteers. "Wish lists" have been sent to the receiving institutions. From those lists, volunteers will prepare the shipping container from the warehouse stock. Once packed, it will be shipped by rail and boat to Kingstown, the capitol city of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, for distribution to the designated institutions in need.
