TEAM JAKE Fundraiser

We had our first Facebook Friends for St. Jude fundraiser November 15th. Suzie Allen wanted to do something to help Team Jake raise some money for St. Jude. She came up with the idea of inviting all our facebook friends to meet at Nickey's in Homer and donate money while we visit and have lunch. She set everything up and even painted and donated all the door prizes. Here is the hostess for the event. I can't tell you how much we appreciate Suzie doing this.Suzie and her son J.T., who has been a patient at St. Jude himself. If I'm not mistaken, they only have to go back for a follow-up visit one more time and it is an "all clear" for J.T. Praise God and thank you St. Jude.Some of our FB friends that attended; Geralyn, Kim (a new team member), Lori, Pat, Mary...I believe these ladies' names are Denise and Laura. I sure hope I got that right.
Bro. Jerry, Ms. Pat, their granddaughter, Sue and Kenneth were there with their donations.
Keith, Shelly, Garrett (another one of our new team members), Charli, Kelsey and several others enjoyed a good meal after church.
This is some of the young folks we are planning on recruiting for next years marathon. Aubrey, Zach V., Ashley and Zach K. (second year team member)
Baby Anna even made it to the fundraiser. Her big brother, Garrett, will be headed to Memphis soon.Jake's family came to support the fundraiser. Don (Jake's daddy), Uncle Todd, Staci (Jake's mama) and Aunt Mo. Jake's JinJin and one of her friends, Mickey, were there too and I can't believe I didn't get a picture of them. Staci won the last door prize. And guess who wanted to win it and didn't...Sorry Mo, maybe next year. Staci, Mo, and Suzie.When I get the pictures Lori made, I will do another post. I missed getting pictures of some of the people there. Thank you, thank you so much Suzie. We so appreciate everything you did.
Always Believing,
Charlene
