Please call Fred Conner at 727-4730 to volunteer. The work schedule as of Sunday, September 4 will be posted on our website by Thursday Morning, September 8.
Check for a link to the schedule and for the booth phone number near the top of our HutchAMBUCS home page.
By the time you read this newsletter, the final clean-up will have occurred and the booth will be stocked with 180 tubs of ice cream. On September 7 and 8, waffle cones will be made for the beginning of the fair.
Our breakfast on September 9, 2005 will be at the ice cream booth at 7:00 A.M. Our program will be a review of the operations of the booth and training for the new members. Every AMBUC will want to be present to obtain their admission passes for their shifts at the fair. After the program, we will relocate to Central Christian Schools Booth for breakfast.
The club wishes to thank every person who has volunteered their time to work at the booth. We plan to post the work schedule on our website. Please review your scheduled work times, arrive promptly and prepared to work. Do not leave your fellow AMBUCS stranded!
September 9th to the 18th is the most important time of the AMBUC year. Special needs children and adults are depending on us!

Remember a fellow ambuc: Jay Pitzer is currently at Wesley Medical Center receiving treatment for leukemia. Please pray for Jays recovery and for Donna as she seeks to care for him. Jay, if you are reading this newsletter, we want you to know that we are looking forward to your return and a complete recovery.
Lori Hopp has informed us that Jay can receive e-mail there at Wesley. She says, “Just go to wesleymc.com. On the right side of the screen is a heading called Wesley Services. From there, click on Patient Email Service. The directions are simple to follow. I sent an email to him Friday morning and it was delivered to his room the same day. Donna said that they both appreciate hearing from people.
“Anyway, I just thought I would pass this information on. Have a great day.”
NEW MEMBERS: Please welcome our newest members, Mark Treaster and Lin Stevens who were sponsored by Doc Powers.
