Workin' at the Car Wash
This past Saturday was great. We had a SUPER turn out with 19 young ladies giving up their Saturday morning to help wash cars. We had several parents stick around to help and even had a couple that wash their own cars. No exact count of cars was kept, but I estimate it was in the 45 to 50 range. The good news is we exceeded our goal by over $100 !
Thanks to everyone who helped and donated !
It's back to work for the girls this week as we get ready to face the Lady Patriots from Citizens Christian again. We are home this week - Thursday 4:00 pm.
Looking back on Friday's recap of Thursday game, I notice a posted comment. It was from Steve Hawley - Coach Hawley, for you folks who may not know, was a very influential teacher and coach at G.C.S. back in the early 80's. His first baseball team at G.C.S included a goofy little Sophomore named DeWeese and a lanky Jr. by the name of Redshaw. I converse with Coach Hawley frequently through the magic of the internet and am always glad to hear from him.
Coach Hawley is a teacher and coach at Westbury Christian in Houston Texas, is heavily involved with the local ministry in the Houston area, and makes frequent mission trips to his beloved Honduras. After all these years, Coach Hawley continues to be a mentor and teacher to me and fellow students like me all over the country.
Coach Hawley is also a published author. His book titled "What Then Is This Child Going To Be?" subtitled "Lessons From The Classroom" takes his everyday observations from 25 years in the classroom and relates them to inspirational and spiritual lessons. Great Reading ! Coach Hawley also publishes a daily blog site http://www.stevehawley.blogspot.com and relays the same short inspirational messages. I highly recommend not only his book (the proceed of which goes to help support his Honduran projects), but this web site. The book can be purchased on line through this web link.
Coach, you now owe me one 2XL Westbury basketball tee shirt.
