Serving in the Community


Twenty-one Crane family members participated in the Comcast Cares Volunteer Day April 25th. Meeting at an elementary school we had milk and yummy donuts, then donned our turqoise t-shirts ready to help out. We went to work sanding, painting, scrubbing desks, cleaning the grounds. It was fun for the children to use pint size rollers with colored paint on the walls, forming large alphabet letters we'd taped around. A task most parents don't allow a child to experience. They were in 'a kid can do this too' heaven.

Knowing we were sprucing up school rooms for hundreds of choice children, made it worth the effort. We visualized them walking the halls reciting the new ABC letters arrayed in their primary colors. As our jobs came to an end Kentucky Fried chicken with all the trimmings, awaited us. What a blessing it is to serve our fellow men.
