Pies Flew at the Alliance Church

On Saturday October 15^th, we held our fundraiser, Let the Pie Fly, at the Alliance Church. We would like to thank all our volunteers who helped make that day possible. We’d also like to give a special thanks to Riverbend Co-op in Outlook for donating the hamburger patties and buns for the b.b.q. Finally, we’d like to thank the Alliance Church for the use of their building.

The event started around noon with the hamburger b.b.q. and face painting. After everyone was finished lunch, the main event commenced. Our featured guests were Mr. Mc Janet, Pastor Ryan, Mayor Bob Stephenson, Larry Peterman and Pastor Darryl Olsen. They very graciously covered themselves in garbage bags and received many pies in their faces (and head) which contained whipped cream and some rather runny pudding. Afterwards we showed a DVD which highlighted the needs of A.I.D.S/H.I.V. orphans in Africa.

At the end of the event we raised about $1,900 which has enabled Julie to definitely go to Cameroon, Africa mid January (which is quite amazing!). As it stands we still need around $2,400 for James to go on the missions trip as well.

Even James got hit ~Thanks Dave! :)

We want to thank everyone who has put so much prayer, time and financial support into helping us go on missions. This has always been a community effort from the first shoe which was put in the wheelbarrow from the Barefoot Rally till now.

There is tentatively one more fundraiser planned for sometime in November which will be a breakfast.
