Robin Hood


The Robin Hood Foundation Of Danville Has Ended It's 2011 Season With Our Finale. Each Year The Day After Thanksgiving We Conduct Our Annual Blanket Drive. The Past 2 Years We Have Been Collecting Them In The K Mart Parking Lot Here In Danville.
We Promote What A Single Blanket On A Bed Can Do. By Placing A Blanket On A Bed At Night Allows You To Lower Your Thermostat. For Every Degree It Is Lowered You Save 3% On Your Power Bill. Save While You Sleep!
We Chose Black Friday Because It's The Busiest Shopping Day Of The Year. The Cooler Temperatures Are Also A Reminder That Not Everyone Is As Fortunate To Have A Blanket On Their Bed. It's Also The Season Of Giving. We Give To The Less Fortunate Because It's The Right Thing To Do. There Will Always Be Poor Amongst Us. The Lord Will Prosper You In Everything You Do For Them.
The Annual Paper Work Arrived From The State Of Illinois. In Order To Be Certified By The State You Must Have Your Board Of Directors In Place To Be Legally A Non Profit. With Sadness I Replaced My Son On The Board. I Left His Seat Vacated Since I Had Already Filed For 2011 Before His Death. I Have Other Directors And With Their Approval We Left It Vacant This Year In His Honor. Bobby Loved What The Foundation Stood For. It Was A Joy To See What It Meant To Him. Maybe I Can Send A Boy Or Girl To Summer Camp Each Year In Bobby's Memory. I Think He Would Be Proud To Have This Done For Him Each Summer.
In The Meantime Our Mission Is Finished For The Season. We Enter Into Hibernation Until April. The Blankets Were Delivered To The Abundant Life Pentacostal Church Of God. Today I Selected A Young Man Who Has Helped Me Numerous Times On My Truck This Past Summer. He Knew I Would Need The Help Since Bobby Passed Away. I Want To Welcome Richard Wallace As A New Director. He Joins Jan Owen And Brenda Bynam. All Of These Individuals I Trust Fully With Guiding Where The Robin Hood Foundation Of Danville Goes Into The Future.
I Must Hibernate My Body And My Mind Through The Winter Months In Hopes That The First Week Of April 2012 Brings Us Promises To Be Even The Best Year Yet.
Bobby, We Will Keep The Dream Alive.........
