Carwash Fundraiser a Success!

Well, it's been 2 months since the car wash fundraiser in August but it seems like yesterday when we had it! (Where has the time gone?!)

Dave, James, Julie and all the girls working hard
We had a real good time that Saturday washing cars and it was perfect weather too! (Not too hot and it didn't rain!) We started at 8:30 a.m. and worked till 6 p.m. with only a couple 15 minute breaks in between. We washed about 33 cars and raised almost $1000!

We are very thankful for all the people who showed up and trusted us to wash their cars but also the unexpected help from some in our church and community including
Dave C., Alex and his girls, Ralph supplied pizza and pop for lunch (thanks so much, it hit the spot!), as well as our girls Rachel, Cara and Petra- you girls are troopers!
(Thanks Rach for taking so many pictures!)

Our next fundraiser entitled Let the Pie Fly is scheduled for Saturday October 15th at the Alliance Church starting at noon. We hope to have a great turnout since our main attraction will be to put a pie in the face of some notable people in the town including Mayor Bob and the Highschool principle Mr. McJanet. I'm hoping James might volunteer his face too but I haven't asked him yet (tee-hee)! We'll also be having a hamburger b.b.q. and face painting! Afterwards we'll be showing a video featuring Teen Missions helping AIDS orphans in Africa.

Come on out! We look forward to seeing you!
