Nazareth Children's Home Outing
The 11th annual Nazareth Children's Home outing was another success. While very hot weather, we had no rain, the catfish were biting, there was plenty of boats to ride on, the food was plentiful and the T-shirt painting was a big hit that even a number of Elks enjoyed.We had about 41 kids and 15 counselors as well as several dozen Elks helping out.
Many thanks to Zach and Patsy Holshouser for maintaining the 20+ fishing poles and donating the bait and one fishing rod that was eventually given to the kid catching the biggest fish. Zach has helped with this every year except one.
Also many others helped. There was non-elk Mark Ritchie who arranged for the Cheerwine drink donation and who also took a number of folks on a boat ride or two. Glen Shimmel, Allen Riggs and Andy and Alice Jenkins and Jim Oliver gave rides as well. That's always a big hit.
thanks to Olywn Wagoner for her donation of embroidered Elks hats. They came in handy for those who forgot to bring there own.
The t-shirt painting was a big hit this year and many thanks to Nicki Shifts and Vanessa Eanes for all there work on this. The shirts were donated by Nicki's dad and $50 came from her employer.
Food was donated by Lilly Marks as well as Mike Jones, Tammy Rivers and Juli copley. Special thanks to ER Bob Sce, Bernie McDonald and James
Caldwell for the excellent cooking of hamburgers and hotdogs. Then there was Gail Sce, Julie Caldwell and Darlene McDonald, Linda Brown, Brad Walworth and a few others whose name I apologize in advance for not listing or misspelling.Oh and special thanks to Kevin Frey for pressure washing the pier. It looked great and no one suffered any slips or falls thanks to his efforts.
