ASP News

With just 9 days to go before we leave here are some reminders of things coming up:

  1. Car Wash this Saturday from 10-2 PM … arrive at 9:30 to set up.

  2. Commissioning at the 10:00 Worship Service … Brooks will be commissioning all ASP participants this Sunday at the 10:00 Service. Please try to be there … obviously if you are away in Florida watching the space shuttle of something you are excused (that is for the Yaciks and Katy Goodson)!

  3. Friday, July 17th we will gather in the church parking lot at 7 PM. to pack our vehicles so that we are ready to roll Saturday morning. On Friday bring our luggage … but save your overnight bag for the trip down to bring with you on Saturday morning.

  4. Any final stock money or forms MUST be turned in by Friday evening (July 17) or you may not be able to leave with us on Saturday.

  5. Saturday, July 18th we will gather at 8 AM at the church parking lot for check. We plan to pull out in small groups around 9AM. Bring a bag lunch for the ride!
I just talked to the center staff in Raleigh County and here are some things you should know about our center …

  1. The air conditioners in the classrooms where will be sleeping WORK! So we do not need fans!

  2. Showers: There are two shower heads per gender period! SO prepared for long lines and don’t forget shower shoes!

  3. Walmart is over an hour away so I imagine there won’t be many trips there, but there are some local small stores including an ice cream place located near the center.

  4. There is no cell phone reception at or near the center.

  5. The staff says that there is a lot of poison ivy around the center and in the local community. Be prepared!
Needed:

  1. I need to know if there are any vegetarians in the group. Please let me know immediately. I have to call that into the center.

  2. Because there is no dish washer at the center we need to bring paper plates, bowls, cups and plastic ware. Is there anyone willing and able to pick this up? The church will reimburse you through ASP funds.
That’s all for now! Can’t wait until July 18th!!!!!!

Peace,

Linda
