Gretchen Everhart Project
Our "construction manager" Charlie Esher, will lead the contruction of a new "Musical Bass Wall" at the GE playground.
Wednesday, October 22nd Al Eppinger, Tommy Mills, Steve Mayberry, and Norm Mears met at Charley Esher's  house to assemble, prime and create additional parts for the BIG fish which eventually will be mounted at Gretchen-Everhart school.
Charley had a number of the components cut out and ready for assembly.
Tommy had the various lengths of tubes cut and ready for to drill the holes and he started the prime coat on the waves.
Al brought the hose material that will go into the gong assembly.
Norm brought the chains, unfortunately in working on them at his house, he hurt his finger, we hope he recovers quickly.
Steve brought the desire and proceeded to do all the hard work.
Each player donated about 5 hours to the project (secretary may wish to vary these total hours to suit)
Charley stood and watched.
Betty served lemonade and a good time was had by 4 of us. The fellowship involved in such projects is usuall the best part overall.
More work opportunities will be available Wednesday, Nov 5th or 12th to finish up. Check with Charley.

The Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall to Visit Tallahassee This Coming Week, Nov. 6-11.

Service Opportunity
The Veteren's Memorial Traveling Wall will be here from November 7th to 11th.  They are looking for volunteers to read names for 20 minute blocks.  What an incredible way to honor our fallen heroes in a very special way.  This can be done by students or adults.  I myself am going to read names on Monday night.  There will be people reading from 7AM to 7PM on the days that the wall is here.  Please let me know what days and times you have signed up for and I will try to come and support you.  If you or your club is interested in participating in this activity the contact information is
Becky Eccard.

You need to tell her what days and times you are available.

Miracle Field News


The dedication is scheduled for Wednesday, November 5th at 11:30 AM. All are invited. There was some report about lunch being served.
Paul Downing gave a report of his observations at the field a few days ago watching the workers install the surface material. He also passed around a sample of the material.
-------
Our club has exceded our goal of $10,000 with a total of $10,344. The next level is $15,000.

To encourage individual donations the Board has voted to match each member's contribution. Our club is within $1,500 of its original $10,000 goal. That means we, as individuals, only have to come up with $750 to be matched by the Club.

Overall for the project $15,000 additional has been raised. About $35,000 is still needed. 
John Ryor has a list of businesses we are assigned to contact for sponsorships and donations. He has details to help with your solicitation. Ask him how you can help.
Jim Wylie says consistency is the key.
