Fun with the Sergeant??
This weeks sergeants were Ward D and Al S, and they started by picking on Eric S, who is very proud of his humble Little River heritage. It seems their schools were in session on Martin Luther King Day. I did not hear Erics explanation for this anomaly, but he paid his $1. Nathan M, Darren W, and Jerry D all paid for having their picture taken at the latest Chamber opening without displaying their Ambuc pins. Don G paid for problems he kept having with his e-mails and their invisible attachments. Jeff B paid a liars tax from some prior week. Both Brad T and Randall H were late for this mornings Special Projects meeting. Then Ward proceeded to levy Ive missed you fines on those his records show have not been fined recently. Oh well. Its all about the kids!!
Pam Brooks returned with the Tuit and fined all who attended the Chamber After Hours get-together and failed to ask She then passed the Tuit on to (its a secret). Beware next Friday.

Program:
Andrew Potter and Kelsey West presented their youth groups current outreach project. OneLife Student Ministries from the First Church of thee Nazarene have partnered with World Vision to raise awareness of the worlds hunger problem. Some of the statistics they shared were: 15,000 children under age 5 die every day as a result of malnutrition – thats 5.5 million annually. Around the world more than 850 million people are hungry, including over 300 million children.
They and their peers will conduct a 30 hour famine to help understand what it feels like to be hungry. They are seeking sponsors, with the goal of raising $29,000 to help families in Mzimba, Malawi. The significance of this goal is it represents the 29,000 children who die each day from disease, hunger, and poverty. Those who visit the church will be greeted with a paper chain with 29,000 links that stretches around the whole facility. 40 persons spent 12hrs each constructing and hanging the chain. If you would like to help, contact the church office at 662-1283 or Greg West (Kelseys father).

The 50/50 pot winner was Eric S, who donated the $35 to the “30 hour famine” fund The newsletter winner would have been Monte M. Since brother Luke was in attendance, he was declared the winner, and donated $15 to the cause.
