Catching Up!!

Wow...It has been almost a year since I have written anything. We have definately been busy with birthday cards for the seniors, Saturday Night Live, and this year we assisted Center Hill Baptist with their first Community Day. It was a BLAST!! Over 200 people attended.

All of our military contacts are home now. I have put requests out for more but have not heard anything.

Our next Saturday Night Live will be held on March 24th at Center Hill Baptist instead of the 31st as there is a fundraiser for the Ukraine Connections that night, and we would like to support them. Please come out and enjoy a night of celebrating our Lord. Ask anyone that came for our New Year's Eve show, you will not be disappointed.

Frog Hands Dinner Theater

The Dinner/Theater was held Saturday April 30th at Ramoth Gilead and was a HUGE success!!! Thanks to everyone that participated in any way; we GREATLY appreciate it!! As always, Drifting Sands was awesome and Ronnie had everyone laughing.

The next project will be getting another shipment off to the soldiers and getting 150 birthday cards signed and delivered to the local nursing homes. If you are interested in helping with either of these projects, please feel free to contact us. We have a ball when we get together to do these projects and....the more the merrier!!

Coming SOON will be the next Saturday Night Live on July 30th. Please let us know if you know someone that would like to be included. It does have to be family friendly. Let's put some various talents together and have a BLAST!! I've been asking about singers, puppets, ventriloquists, and musicians, but how about some hambone? spoon playing? stand-up comedian? yodeler? Let's have some fun!! Let's show everyone that Christians CAN have FUN!! More details in the near future.

As always, THANK YOU for your support and interest. Let's continue to work together, spread some cheer, and remember....

Together We Can Make A Difference

~Latest Update~

Ok - We trashed the forum. Please feel free to post any comments, and check back often to stay up to date with the latest.

 

It is now time for the SECOND Frog Hands Dinner Theater and Silent Auction. Dinner will consist of Pork BBQ and Grilled Chicken, (you get both) all the trimmings, dessert, and tea. Entertainment is being provided by Drifting Sands Bluegrass Band and Ronnie Wyatt, Comedian and Pastor of Ramoth Gilead. There will also be a silent auction. It will be held at Ramoth Gilead (near Morgan's Corner) on Saturday, April 30th. Doors open at 5, Dinner at 6, and the show starts at 7. The band and Ronnie perform at the Outer Banks Music Showcase.

 

We need your help in order to make this fundraiser - our main fundraiser - a success. We need help selling tickets, collecting items for the silent auction, and of course help that day setting up, serving, and cleaning. Speaking of tickets, there will only be a limited number sold. Last year it was 100 and it was sold out. The number this year is 130.

 

We have the information for 2 more soldiers and will be getting a shipment off to them soon. I recently learned that my high school buddy (the one who started this madness) will be deployed again later this year to Kuwait, so that will be 5 soldiers. We don't just ship to the soldier, we send enough for each one to share with 15 - 20 more. so we are reaching around 100 people with each shipment. Remember, the boxes cost $12.50 each to ship and so far we haven't had to buy the goodies we put in them; so please remember them if you can- nabs, candy, snacks, nuts, etc. Everytime I ask about any other needs, they say, "no, just candy." So that's what we send them. Last year we spent over $400 on shipping alone. The more we have, the more we can do.

 

We no longer collect medicine bottles. The last   A and animal shelter and couldn't find anyone that was taking them.

 

Also, start thinking about our Community Fun Day this fall. Last year we had around 200 to attend. Everything is free (except the crafts of course) popcorn, hot dogs, drinks, chips, and cotton candy. This takes alot of work, sponsors, and donations. So please keep this in mind. More details to come.
