Dear
Friends,
I
realized that in my last letter to you, I said that May brought “showers”,
when I should have said “flowers”. However, “showers” has certainly been
appropriate lately. God gave us a beautiful day for the Flea Market and in
spite of the economy, we raised over $3,000 selling beignets and coffee
at Café du Canton. Down from $7,000 in October, we were well organized and we
are ready for the crowds in October. Everyone had a lot of fun… thanks to
all of you that volunteered.
Now, on to the next fundraiser … Ride 4 Life Bike Ride and Rodeo. If you plan
to help with this event on Saturday, please join us for a volunteer meeting
Wed., May 20 at Ridgecrest
Baptist Church
in Room 102 at 6:30 pm.
Also,
I want to remind everyone with children under 12, there will be a bike
skills rodeo at 9:30 am. Lunch will be provided if you preregister by
Thurs., May 21. However, everyone is welcome to register and participate
the day of the event for the ride and the rodeo.
If you are unable to come to the volunteer
meeting, but want to help, please contact Ashton Page for more information.
Please contact Ashton Page at 601- 812-7018.
Sincerely,
Brenda Van Velkinburgh

 In case you
haven’t heard the news, a recent Gallup poll shows that more
Americans are now pro-life than pro-choice since the landmark Roe v. Wade
decision that legalized abortion.
It makes me smile to be riding down the rode and see someone
with a Choose Life car tag. I always try to see if it is someone I know!
But did you know
that by purchasing a Choose Life tag, you are helping The Christmas Village
and other pro-life organizations around our state? It’s easy to convert
your tag. Simply take your current tag to your local tag office and order a
new Choose Life tag for just $31. You don’t even have to wait until your
current tag expires! Your new tag will be mailed to you. It’s so easy!
