Monthly Mission - May 2011


Monthly Mission: May

209969_2072125761882_1207046147_2517108_2946408_oHave you ever experienced the JOY of watching or supporting someone with special needs in any kind of sport or activity? THIS is your chance!


This month we will be raising awareness about the Special Olympics through the Albany Recreation & Parks Department. This year, the Special Olympics softball team, Albany Gnat Swatters, will be traveling to Dalton, GA for the State Fall Games. It will be a 3-day weekend full of different sporting events, dancing, and great fellowship among Georgia's great special athletes!


We need YOUR help! On Saturday, May 14th, from 10am until 2pm, MISSION CHANGE will be hosting multiple car washes 222095_2072114161592_1207046147_2517099_4035602_naround Albany to help raise donations for the softball team. The donations will go towards traveling expenses like gas & transportation to Dalton, GA, and transportation to scrimmage games as they prepare for the Fall Games. Their funds are limited through the city, so it our privilege to join with the athletes and support them in all that they do! They will even be at the car washes to serve with us! This will be a first for Mission Change in serving with the athletes with special needs and we are truly excited to cheer them on!


Central Baptist Church has been kind enough to offer their parking lot as 1 of 3 locations that day. We ask that everyone meet at 9am in the parking lot for registration and instruction on where each group will be designated to go for the day. The church is located at the light of Dawson Rd. and Third Ave. If you have a large group, please contact La Donna to make arrangements.


ITEMS NEEDED:

- Towels for drying                               - Sponges to wash the cars

- Car soap                                             - Buckets

- Water hoses                                        - Sprayers for the water hoses

- Bottled water


Please wear clothing that you do not mind getting wet or dirty, along with tennis shoes or sandals with straps!

We look forward to seeing YOU help make a difference in the lives of others!

        HOW MANY SEA SHELLS ARE YOU HOLDING ON TO?   Well, it's been one heck of a year so far and I find myself asking the question, "Who do I think I am?". I know, a weird thing to say to yourself, but hey...it happens. I think everyone finds themselves asking who do I think I am judging what I think someone else's needs are? How do ...
