2008, 30-Hour FamineSt. Mark’s United Church youth and some of their friends participated in another World Vision 30 Hour Famine. This is the 10th year that the famine has been done at St. Mark’s.
Everyone had a good time, and Sheldon LeGrow caught some of us still in our pajama’s when he came over for a visit. He surprised us all with his camera and then delighted us when he brought over a copy of the group picture for everyone, with room to put autographs. What a great keepsake!
The group raised $2,447.87 this year, which is enough to feed 6 families for a year and a 7th family for 8 months. I am very proud of this group. They worked hard at fundraising, and then worked hard at tiding up the church hall after the overnight event.
We all want to give a special thanks to the Ladies group, who donated money to provide us with our juice, the all the members of the congregation, who so generously donated to the young people when asked, and to all of the congregation, for the use of the hall. Thank-you,
thank-you, thank-you.Annemary Butcher
