Well, we had our 5th annual Walk-a-thon Saturday, September 27th. I have to admit with the gas shortage and the pouring rain the days before, I was wondering what kind of Walk-a-thon we were going to have!! That morning, God provided a beautiful day with all of our families and friends coming out to support us. Over $14,000 was raised this year, what a blessing as we head into the winter months. I must mention the band, Well of Hope, was AWESOME. They set up on a flatbed trailer under the arena and they sounded incredible. Thanks so much to Anthony Bartlett for setting that up! The barbeque again this year was provided by Ron and Rita Steele and boy was it good. It just keeps getting better and better! Thanks to everyone who made desserts, no sweet tooth's were left craving any sugar that's for sure. Thanks to Luanne for all her hard work getting our T-Shirts together and taking care of the Registration booth with Janice. And Gail Nance was the highest sponsored walker with over $2000 in donations again this year. Thanks to all of our walkers, American Metals, JT's Jaybirds, Image Church, Wingate University Volunteers, and Joseph's crew. Also thank you to everyone who helped not only to get things going but also to clean things up afterward. Looking forward to next year!!
