Baked Potato's and Kidneys

Title get your attention? Well, we'll be eating the first, to help with the second. Read on for more information...

On Nov. 11th (it's a Sunday), there is going to be a Baked Potato Benefit Lunch in Sugarcreek. The proceeds are going to help out a fellow staff member, Vern Yoder. He's having his 2nd kidney transplant this December. Right now, he's on dialysis three times a week, which has literally taken a lot out of him. But even with all he's gone through, there's always a smile on his face and a contagious laugh that is just so great to hear. He is one of the most amazing people I've ever had the privilege to work with, or to even know. And the kids at church think he breaks the "cool meter". (They're right by the way)

So if you're in the Holmes and Tuscarawas County area on that Sunday, from 11-3, stop in at 531 Dover Rd. in Sugarcreek (the old Free Methodist church). It's $6 for adults and $3 for kids 10 and under. What's that get you? A hot baked potato with toppings, applesauce, dinner roll and dessert. If you can't stay, then just swing by and get it to go! But while you're there, check out the items that will be part of a Silent Auction. It'll be fun, delicious, and best of all you'll be supporting a great guy. See you there!

Jessica, Do you have any kind of fliers made up on this that we could post at work to promote this event? :) Joanne
